Hands on physics
What better way to teach and learn about physics! This book does both. Extremely well illustrated with diagrams throughout - essential aids to learning concepts. I've chosen this book from all my many purchases as the one I will buy again and gift to my sister for Christmas. We are both Grandmothers, keen to help the up-and-coming younger members of our families who may be the innovative creators of tomorrow.

Karakuri works
I found this book quite a delight. It is saturated with enthusiasm for the techniques of cardboard engineering, especially with relation to creative education, and the 4 models included in the book show the application of the methods explained in the book in a graphic and funny way.

but what there is so far looks great and kept him occupied
Has kept my 11 year old busy over the summer! The time and care he has taken to make sure the models are built correctly means we don't actually have one to use yet, but what there is so far looks great and kept him occupied.

Great but over priced.
It really is of very good quality which my child loves, but so over priced, hence knocking off the one star.

Take care to make a quality model.
Fabulous book, lovely to make. Good instructions - but you'll need to follow carefully. The coloured models have yet to be completed.

Perfect explanation of the mechanisms I wanted to create for a craft project - plus lots of models to cut out and make!

El libro es muy interesante y completo para las personas que desean aprender a construir juguetes en papel con movimiento. Esta excelentemente explicado y tiene todos los mecanismos para construir, mas 4 ejemplos completos. El unico defecto que le encuentro es que para hacer los modelos hay que recortar las hojas del libro y entonces pierdes en cierta forma la informacion original. Considero que el libro deberia venir con un CD de donde pudieras imprimir cuantas veces quieras los modelos y sin destruir el libro. Tomando en cuenta que como es didactico y nunca te sale bien en la primera vez, ya no tienes otra oportunidad de hacerlo.

Très bon livre pour comprendre et réaliser des mécanismes. Les modèles proposés sont ludiques et relativement simples si l’on suit bien les instructions.

It's the best thing to buy if you want to learn how karakuri works. Really glad we purchased it. My 8 and 6 year-olds needed a little hand with cutting, but they folded and assambled it all by themselves.
