SUMMARY- This is a fantastic first book to give to a kid. It has three of my four favorite simple models. She has a butterfly too, but it isn't one of the traditional models that I like because it only has two wings, not four. She was trying to keep it very simple for a potential first project, so I understand. It also has the classic cup, bookmark and waterbomb/ball that I consider indispensable. There is plenty here to experiment with, and lots of useful models. Mary Meinking put together the first two chapters, and Chris Alexander put together the last two chapters. I think they both did a superb job. Further books in this series were done by Chris Alexander alone.
