Mike uses his imagination and some origami paper to turn his boredom into excitement as he sets out on an epic journey, meeting new friends along the way. Includes instructions on how to fold origami shapes.

Book Synopsis

For origami lovers, adventurers, and storytellers, fold origami right alongside Mike in this modern retelling of the popular Japanese fable, Momotaro ("The Peach Boy"). Includes 28 sheets of origami paper, 7 different origami models, and a bonus recipe for "folded" dumplings.

Mike is bored at home on a rainy day. Luckily, he can make his own fun! With nothing but his imagination (and some origami paper), Mike sets out on an epic journey through a jungle, across an ocean, and up the tallest mountain. Along the way, he encounters some new paper friends--Zoe the dog, Monkey, and Bird. Fold origami with Mike on his journey to save his newly folded friends from the monster...and maybe save the monster, too!
