A very nicely-told tale, unsurprising, but none the worse for that. Evocative (if not breathtaking) illustrations put me in mind again of Meiji-era Japan and all the swirling history of that period, even in the quiet microcosm of this artisan's humbling lesson.

This sweet, beautiful story is about Shima, the Origami Master, who finds beautiful origami each morning on his table and wonders who it is who is playing a trick on him. He learns that it is the warbler who lives in his tree; Shima catches the bird to learn its secrets. This is a wonderful introduction to origami for grades k-2. A read-aloud can be enhanced by creating your own origami figures.
