Book Review: Gallop
Summary: 5 Stars
WOW! This book was amazing!! Both young and old were mezmerized by the moving pictures!Book Review: Not just a gimmick...
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my fifteen month old about a week ago and we both really enjoy it. The moving images are very cool and eye-catching. The book, itself, is also well-written at about a board book reading level. The exclamations that go with the pictures (giddyup-a-loo, cock-a-doodle doo, roly-poly-pup, pitter-patter-hupp, etc.) are fun and engaging. The text's simple rhymes are also enjoyable and ring true (I hate bad children's literature, especially forced rhymes). I think my son is probably the right age for this book (I would say between one and three) and perhaps the reviewer who found this book boring after the first few reads had an older child who was only interested in the novel images. For the right age group this book has a lot to offer-- hours of lap reading enjoyment.Book Review: Mesmerizing
Summary: 4 Stars
My son was mesmerized by the unique motion of the pictures in this book, especially if you flap the cover a bit. It was a bit pricey for what's essentially a board book, but I can understand it due to the scanimation.
I also bought this for a friend's kids, and they were fascinated, too!
Book Review: Mesmerizing at first!
Summary: 3 Stars
We checked this out from the library ... it was sitting on a shelf and my 4 year old picked it up and WOW! We were mesmerized! But after getting home and reading it once through to them - I was disappointed in the text. It wasn't a pleasure to read - and I find that really important and I spend nearly all day reading to my 4 children! So while the amazing movement in the book was really cool, I am not sure if I'll be buying this because I don't want it to just take up space on our shelves.
