This book is written entirely in Japanese and, as I cannot speak nor read Japanese, nor am I an entomologist, I was forced to rely on the nice, clear colour photographs at the beginning of the book to discover at least what the beetles will look like, even if not what they were called.
There are 14 models in total, ranging from a very simple, legless grub through increasingly complex looking creatures to a beetle with 6 legs, carapace and a 4-pronged horn. But generally the beetles all seem to be of the hard-as-nails-giant-fighting-samurai type that some Japanese keep as pets and, indeed have fights with.
I would like to stress the “complex looking” part of the previous paragraph. These designs are much simpler than they appear, because they are 2, or even 3, piece models. None of your single-square-purism here! In fact some of the beetles do not even possess the full complement of legs, the effect being suggested rather than actually depicted. The resulting beetles still look pretty good.
The diagrams, like most Japanese origami books are clear and easy to “read” and the folding sequences were sufficiently different to what I might have expected as to cause me to re-assess the creative possibilities of a single piece of paper.
This book is not super-complex origami and should not cause many problems to an intermediate folder.

This richly illustrated book provides step-by-step folding instructions for the construction of over 40 modular origami creations. The author describes how to fold the modules and how to use them as building blocks to construct larger polyhedral models. These beautiful designs are elaborate three-dimensional geometric patterns, some resembling stars or flowers. One chapter focuses on models representing mutually intersecting planes in the shape of stars, hexagons, etc. Some of the models are advanced variations of favorite models from the author s previous book, Marvelous Modular Origami. The folding diagrams are clear, crisp, and easy to follow and are accompanied by color photographs of brilliant finished models. The book is aimed at intermediate folders, but the origami basics included at the start of the book make it accessible to beginners.

Most of the models in this book are modular: This means that you make the head and body sections separately and then glue them together. There is also some cutting involved, but only in one or two of the designs. The benefit of modular origami, is that it is possible to get more detail into the models and these dinosaurs really do look great once they are finished. They are quite easy to adapt, so you can put them in different poses.
Another good thing about this book, is the scale chart at the back. This tells you, in centimetres, which size squares to use if you want to produce dinosaurs that are to scale with one another. So your Veloceraptor won't tower over your T-Rex.

Master spiral designs, multi-pointed stars, 9-sided gift boxes, and 12-sided gyroscopic whirligigs. More elaborate designs invite you into the outer-space world of stars with starbeams and 8-sided flying saucers, whimsical crows in the grass, gorgeous nested boxes, and sculptured gift containers.
