SUMMARY- Mr. LaFosse and Mr. Alexander have had a ton of practice putting books and instructional videos together, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that the instructions are clear and well broken down, and the models are cute! Their instructional videos are great and a real selling point - worth the price of admission all by themselves. Especially if you're a novice folder, it is so so helpful to be able to see the folds as someone expert does them. Short of a personal tutor, this is the best way to learn. I highly recommend them.
This is a very tiny kit, with only 6 models. But the first model is a bird base that you can use to experiment making your own birds, and they were able to make the crane from it, which is otherwise hard to do with a dollar bill. They suggest wet folding the bat and dolphin - both of which look awesome. These look challenging to me(I'm a well-practiced novice), but with the instructional videos, I think even a novice could be successful.
