SUMMARY- This was her fourth book. The quality of the models is only a tiny bit uneven(I would never guess what the dolphin was supposed to be). I really adore the Luau Pig and the Bat. All of her charms with the exception of the Fortune Cookie were designed to hold a gold dollar coin. There is a very clever plastic sleeve in the back of the book that holds the 6 different papers she designed for certain models. The specialized papers are printed both sides, so it would be almost impossible to line up both sides for an accurate fold on a home printer. Not all the designs rely on the preprinted papers, though, so you still get a fun variety of charms with the island theme she promotes so well.
