Cow by Yehuda Peled

I couldn't quite figure out how to make the ears, and the body looks too long. Not sure if it's the fault of the diagrams or me.

Crow by Toyoaki Kawai

I have only a very bad photocopy of this book and cannot find any information about it. To the best of my (er, Google Translate's) ability to translate, this is Toyoaki Kawai's Origami II: Fairy Tale Theme (thematically arranged around children's stories). The particular story here seems to be "The Crow and the Pitcher" (crow drops pebbles in pitcher to raise the water level so he can drink).

Frog by Kunihiko Kasahara

From Kunihiko Kasahara's Super Esoteric Works for the Enthusiast (also translated as Highly Challenging Origami Models for Maniacs). I have not been able to find any information about this book; it appears to have a 1976 copyright date. I do not own this book, just a poor photocopy of it.
