Geeklings love motion

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, Gallop! shows a horse in full gallop, a turtle swimming up the page, a dog running, a cat springing, an eagle soaring, and more!

Created by Rufus Butler Seder (genius, inventor, artist, and filmmaker), Scanimation is a state-of-the-art six-phase animation process that combines persistence of vision 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. Complementing the art of Gallop! 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.
