About the Author

Trained as a fashion designer, Alison Jenkins began making traditional origami models as a fun pastime but recently she has used her paper-folding talents to manipulate a different material-bath towels! The methods and principles are the same but the results are very different indeed. Alison regularly contributes craft and home improvement features to lifestyle and home interest magazines.

My 9 year old got this book because room stewards on cruise ships leave towel origami on the beds when they clean up. My daughter wanted to surprise the room steward and leave a few "animals" of her own. Needless to say the steward was surprised she knew how to make towel animals and it was a highlight of our trip watching her try to "outdo" the professional. If a nine year old can make these animals anyone can. This is a great, fun book. I highly recommend it.
