In this quirky and imaginative new title, renowned paper engineer James Diaz explores what would happen if ordinary paper magically transformed itself into extraordinary new origami creatures. Imagine newspaper doves and gum wrapper cranes. With Popigami, anything is possible

About this title

Review:

In this technical tour de force, father and daughter combine origami-style figures and intricate pop-up effects into six spreads and a double gatefold of paper magic. The art evokes common materials, from a whirl of newspaper doves or passport pages made into sailboats to legal-pad-paper ducks swimming in a desktop "pond" of spilled coffee and,
for a spectacular finish, an array of Chinese take-out menus and cartons falling prey to a hungry dragon's attack. The figures are mostly made of
precut and glued pieces, but many of the beaks and noses, at least, are actually folded. This is recommended only for display and as a specimen for
special collections. John Peters, New York Public Library --School Library Journal
