Buckley, Co-founder of the Sustainability and Environmental Management Program, Harvard University Extension School "As with all Tuttle Publishing books and activities, they always add a little extra, and in this kit, children (and adults) can learn more about each of the species that they are folding...[Kids] think they're just having fun, while we know that they're busy engaging their brains and fine motor skills at the same time (win-win)!" -Castle View Academy blog
