Review Quotes: Paper folding, with its reliance on intricate hand movements, benefits mightily from the additional content located on the Capstone 4D app. . . .In addition to being an ideal medium for demonstrating techniques, the videos on the app train readers to go back and forth between the text and the video. . . .The combination of text, photos, and videos make these projects nearly foolproof. A fine choice, especially if students can easily access the related app.-- "School Library Journal, Series Made Simple"
