Awesome airplanes
I stumbled across this book in a local library a few years ago in the oragami section and was intrigued.I had tried making accurate flight-capable airplanes before, but with little success.The simple approach that Schmidt uses makes the building process enjoyable, and while the planes produced are reward in themselves, the fact that they actually fly enhances the experience.While the planes aren't super-realistic, they are a definate change of pace from simple folding and precision cutting and bending.While the intended age range encompasses mostly grade/middleschoolers, the young at heart will still find enjoyment by adding details to the planes and having realitsic (paper) jet fighter strikes against their coworkers.This book is definately for anoyne with a passion for flying and/or folding.

Complicated planes made easy
We have checked this book out of our local library four times and renewed it several more times than that. It has many different planes from simple and easy to fold, to the more complicated bi-plane and even a Boeing 747. They all look remarkably realistic and to-scale when done carefully. Scissors, ruler, and glue are necessary besides, of course, paper. We need our own copy for my airplane-loving son.

great

Tells of a beloved family Christmas present made by repairing an old doll with scraps of house fabric
The Honest-to-Goodness Story of Raggedy Andy is a picturebook based on the true story of Johnny Gruelle, creator of the famous Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy dolls. The charming narrative written by a devoted Raggedy Ann and Andy collector, and the delightful color illustrations by Johnny Gruelle's granddaughter, tell of a beloved family Christmas present made by repairing an old doll with scraps of house fabric, which in turn became the genesis for the popular Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy dolls created and distributed worldwide. The Honest-to-Goodness Story of Raggedy Andy especially focuses on the creation of Raggedy Ann's younger brother, made because the children who loved Raggedy Ann thought she felt lonely. Also very highly recommended is The Real-for-Sure Story of Raggedy Ann.
