Overall Impression

While this book will remind folders of Montroll's previous dinosaur book: Prehistoric Origami, this is pretty much a whole new book. despite sharing some of the models with its predecessor, most models, though sharing the same names, are completely redesigned to be more "clean-looking", while the others are re-diagrammed, and many new dinosaurs are included.

Each model comes with the correct pronunciation and some details about the animal.
