Gallop!: A Scanimation Picture Book (Scanimation Books)
Date undefinedI love gadgets of all kinds, and when I ran into this delightful book, I got several. My nephews adore it, as has every little one I've given it to among my friends' kids. The motion is an optical illusion created by passing a series of bars across a multi-positional figure. Each phase in the animal's gait is disclosed as the page is turned, creating a sense of movement. Included are a horse running, a rooster walking, a butterfly and eagle flying, turtles swimming, a monkey swinging from vines, and the familiar family dog and cat. They're all delightful. I even kept a book for myself as a coffee table edition.

Date undefinedokay--so maybe this book doesn't have a plot or characters--but my 3 month old loves it! in fact, he actively looks at the movement on the page. this may not be the best most cost-effective read for a 3+ year old--but if you're looking to start a collection for a newborn--buy it. it's definitely visually captivating. this book will take you through the first year, when the other books bore your child to tears. for the youngest babes, gimmicks WORK. hold onto skippy jonjones and caps for sale for the older ones.
