Summer fun with a single sheet of paper awaits readers of The Kids' Guide to Paper Airplanes. As an introduction to basic Origami, the book will appeal to both girls and boys since the instructions are easy to follow and lead to creations that actually fly. The introductory chapter presents basic folding techniques and terms and is followed by instructions and tips for eleven different types of airplanes. Some of these include "Classic Dart," "Stealth Glider," "Hammerhead," "Super Plane," "Angry Finch," and "Silent Huntress." With graphically appealing designs and "Impressiveness" and "Complexity" starred ratings on every page, the book also highlights glossary terms related to flying within each chapter. An eight-word glossary page repeats these words. "Read More" and "Internet Sites" pages invite the reader to explore additional paper airplane resources. This book is part of Capstone Press's "Kids Guides" Series. Reviewer: Debra Lampert-Rudman
