In Emilee's opinion:

This book, "Bible Origami" by Todd Huisken was super creative and fun. After I created Noah's Ark which had several parts and was a skill level: 2, I got used to it. This was my first origami book that I have used so I'm definitely a beginner. Then I created the fox and thought it was so easy (skill level: 1) and the Jonah and the whale which again gave me confidence. My husband tried the lion which was level 3 and gave up half way through. So, if you are a skilled origami maker, I suggest level 3 first. Otherwise, stick to levels 1 & 2 till you get the hang of it and then try level 3. I also made Joseph's coat of many colors which was a level 2 and was pretty easy. The images helped and was appreciated. There were also 24 designs from the Old and New Testaments. I will definitely bring this book to church to keep my six year old occupied.  I was given some 4.5 x 4.5 paper which was the perfect size. However, if you buy the book, I'm not sure if the paper is included. That would be a nice bonus to customers. Overall, I recommend this book to anyone who loves to create and is up for the fun challenge.
