Review: Lots of Fun - Full of fun. Provides the basics of mechanical paper craft. Would be great for teaching children some of the physics of motion. Has ten basic models and lots of examples of designs using these done by the author and even more by high school students. Excellent chapter on how this form of mechanics paper craft works.Interesting even if you don't make anything. Over half the book is made of pages to cut out and assemble. Lots of Fun.
Review: GREAT STEM RESOURCE - As a STEM teacher trying to accommodate Distance Learners while my In-Person student explore robotics.... I AM BLOWN AWAY!! Great resource!!!! In addition to the instructions on how to build the 4 models shown, the book includes instructions for 10 gears which you can build off of to create your own design. It also comes with text book like background on gears and mechanisms and full color explanations/descriptions & real-world examples.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Should be Illegal it is so much fun!
*by G***S on March 26, 2013*

I never expected to have this much fun! This is an amazing book, clearly written and illustrated. Too much fun to describe and much better than the other books I bought that do much of the same. There is so much information here as well as just having fun making all of the adorable projects and learning the names of types of gears and how machines work. A must buy if you want to learn about machines or just want to have fun making gears and shafts and such out of paper. I love it!
