Book Reviews of Gallop!: A Scanimation Picture Book
Book Review: Gallop Wins at the Finish!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my year-old granddaughter, and truth be told, I would like to keep it myself. I am simply amazed at the scanimation. I showed the book to several colleagues at work and they went off and bought it, too. I like how thick the pages are. It feels very sturdy for a little one to read and the scanimation will get her attention.
Summary of Gallop!: A Scanimation Picture Book
There's never before been a book like Gallop! Employing a patented new technology called Scanimation, each page is a marvel that brings animals, along with one shining star, to life with art that literally moves. It's impossible not to flip the page, and flip it again, and again, and again.A first book of motion for kids, it shows a horse in full gallop and a turtle swimming up the page. A dog runs, a cat springs, an eagle soars, and a butterfly flutters. Created by Rufus Butler Seder, an inventor, artist, and filmmaker fascinated by antique optical toys, Scanimation is a state-of-the-art six-phase animation process that combines the "persistence of vision" principle with a striped acetate overlay to give the illusion of movement. It harkens back to the old magical days of the kinetoscope, and the effect is astonishing, like a Muybridge photo series springing into action—or, in terms kids can relate to, like a video without a screen. Complementing the art is a delightful rhyming text full of simple questions and fun, nonsense replies: Can you gallop like a horse? giddyup-a-loo! Can you strut like a rooster? cock-a-doodle-doo!
Every child who opens the book will be amazed—and so will every parent.
