An quite simple Lang

I first know the world of modern origami because of Mr.Lang's book. His Step by Step origami is my first Lang book, and I am totally shocked. After all there are many wonderful book of Lang, each one climb unto a more higher stage. So I always doubt and wonder if Lang has his adolescent age in origami! And now this book is Lang's related simple work. According the publishing date (1992), This is STILL NOT an adolescent work, but it indeed contains easier models to fold. Some models are quite abstract, not as familiar Lang's style. It seems that Lang tried to make this book as easy as possible. In fact this is a quite good origami textbook for true beginners and kids. It contains introduction of paper and notations then about 20 models, from 12 steps super easy and abstract grasshopper to complex(for some, intermediate) lion and gazelle.(Interesting enough, the gazelle use the base very like Montroll's dog's base). Although most models are simple, still there are some models both are abstract and beautiful, like ibex, gazelle and skate.
