Bringing Origami to Life by John Montroll, 119 pages, 26 models, ISBN: 0-486-40714-4.
All models can/should be wet-folded. Includes a one-page introduction to wet-folding.
I really liked the fact that at the beginning of each diagram, there is a paragraph not about the particular animal, but rather about the model itself. While I've enjoyed learning about different animals in practically all other books, I've always thought that it would be nice to read something about, say, the folding sequence or other things about the model. This has been done (at least in part) in this book.
