Booklist - 02/15/2024 In this story from the Gigi and Ojiji series under the respected I Can Read banner, Gigi is eager to visit the local Japan Day Festival. The food is great, and Ojiji, her grandpa, is helping to staff the origami booth. Since he’s busy helping others fold paper cranes (a difficult challenge), another staffer shows Gigi how to make an origami puppy, an easier project. Now confident, Gigi asks Ojiji to show her how to make a crane. Unfortunately, she’s easily discouraged after comparing her finished project with her grandfather’s, and she declares that she doesn’t like origami. Her understanding mentor advises her to make just “one fold at a time.” Musing, “I can do that,” Gigi tries again and makes a better crane. Beginning readers will probably sympathize with Gigi’s initial impatience to excel. The book concludes with a double-page spread titled “How to fold a puppy head,” featuring 11 illustrated step-by-step instructions for making an origami dog like those shown in the colorful digital illustrations. A reassuring story paired with an appealing craft project. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
