Muy interesante y divertido
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.

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

Fantastic and fun
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.

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.
