Book Reviews of Swing!: A Scanimation Picture Book
Book Review: Great for all ages! Suprisingly sturdy book. Also check out "Gallop"
Summary: 5 Stars
The text is quite simple, most kids in kindergarten will be able to read it by themselves, but, like Gallop (the first in this series) "Swing" uses similar technology to create moving pictures as a zeotrope (Invented 180AD!).
It's amazing that with all the latest gadgets and gizmos that this book can still mesmerize people of all ages. I recommend it whether you are 4 or 44.
One surprising thing about this book is how sturdy it is. You'd think it would break easily as would a pop-up book, but the mechanism is very simple and completely protected so even the copy at my 3 year old daughter's pre-school has survived for several years entirely intact!
Summary of Swing!: A Scanimation Picture Book
Published last fall, Gallop! introduced the amazing technology called Scanimation and took the children?s book world by storm. It became an instant bestseller?#1 on The New York Times children's list.Now Swing! does for kids what Gallop! does for animals?a boy rides a bike, a girl kicks her soccer ball, a swimmer cuts through the water, and a skater pirouettes on ice. The effect is joyous, magical, mesmerizing, and taps into the the endless fascination that children find in watching other children. The second book created by Rufus Butler Seder, the inventor, artist, and filmmaker who developed Scanimation out of his obsession with antique optical toys and other pre-motion-picture illusions, Swing! uses "persistence of vision" and a patented state-of-the-art multiphase animation process to create astonishment. There is nothing else like this unique, patented technology that literally inspires wonder.
The images burst with activity, and adding greatly is a happy, rhyming text that captures in words the pure energy of the figures in motion. You can't put it down.
