The name comes from Tagalog, the national language of the Philippines, and it means “cut cut.” Master Ben A. Gonzales, a native Filipino, illustrates all the techniques in this unique collection of paper animals—and both kids and adults will love constructing them. It’s easy: Each creature is made from a single sheet, directions are laid out in a straightforward manner, and large patterns proceed logically from simple forms to the more complicated. Choose from a butterfly, bear, kangaroo, swan, Tyrannosaurus rex, whale, and many others. Average Rating:
