Summary
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。

a scanimation book that is so fun and creative。 As we move the page， it looks like the horse， cat， dog， bird， and other animals are moving。 I think it’s super cool， but Elliot seems a bit young to understand the scanimation， so we will try again when he’s closer to 18-24mo

The clear highlight of this book is the "s animation，" but the rhymes are fun。 Some of the animal sounds aren't standard so it's harder for little ones to read along， but overall， it's a fun book。 The clear highlight of this book is the "s animation，" but the rhymes are fun。 Some of the animal sounds aren't standard so it's harder for little ones to read along， but overall， it's a fun book。 。。。more

I really love the concept of this book， but I review children's books based on how my children view them， and this book falls short for my two year old son。 He expected the pages to be textured， and they aren't。 The motion caught his attention for a split second before he tossed the book down and moved on。 I figured this might be a one time case， but he does this every Sunday （this is a church book for kids to look at during service）， and every service he's uninterested in it。 I really love the concept of this book， but I review children's books based on how my children view them， and this book falls short for my two year old son。 He expected the pages to be textured， and they aren't。 The motion caught his attention for a split second before he tossed the book down and moved on。 I figured this might be a one time case， but he does this every Sunday （this is a church book for kids to look at during service）， and every service he's uninterested in it。 。。。more

I think I like this book more than the baby， because it’s so unusual。 To the baby everything is new and unusual。 He does like it， the illusion of movement。。。 but I love it！ Makes me think about Harry Potter and the moving portraits。 This is magic to me。

The animals gallop， strut， run， jump， fly， swing， flutter， and swim across the pages。 Each animal is brought to life as the illusion moves when you move the page。 The butterfly is my favorite， because its wings look so delicate。Los animales galopan， pavonean， corren， saltan， vuelan， balancean， revolotean y nadan a través de las páginas。 Cada animal es llevado a la vida cuando la ilusión se mueve cuando mueve la página。 La mariposa es mi favorita， porque sus alas parecen tan delicadas。This book i The animals gallop， strut， run， jump， fly， swing， flutter， and swim across the pages。 Each animal is brought to life as the illusion moves when you move the page。 The butterfly is my favorite， because its wings look so delicate。Los animales galopan， pavonean， corren， saltan， vuelan， balancean， revolotean y nadan a través de las páginas。 Cada animal es llevado a la vida cuando la ilusión se mueve cuando mueve la página。 La mariposa es mi favorita， porque sus alas parecen tan delicadas。This book is so clever！ I'm very impressed with the illusions and how clean the design is。 So simple and yet so entertaining。 ¡Este libro es genial！ Estoy muy impresionada con las ilusiones y lo limpio que es el diseño。 Tan simple y a la vez tan entretenido。Each page asks us， "Can you jump like the cat？" or "Can you gallop like the horse？" giving the reader a chance to get up and move。 It's wonderful to read to little children and get them to do a little exercise。Cada página pregunta: "¿Puedes saltar como el gato？" o "¿Puedes galopar como el caballo？" dando al lector la oportunidad de levantarse y moverse。 Es maravilloso para leer a los niños pequeños y hacer que hagan un poco de ejercicio。Despite the black and white illusions， the rest of the page is colorful and bright。 Even the text is in a variety of colors。 The pages are thick and sturdy。 I love all the details in the illusions， like the horse's tail that flies in the wind。A pesar de las ilusiones en blanco y negro， el resto de la página es colorida y brillante。 Incluso el texto está en una variedad de colores。 Las páginas son gruesas y robustas。 Me encantan todos los detalles de las ilusiones， como la cola del caballo que vuela en el viento。Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a free and honest review。 All the opinions stated here are my own true thoughts and are not influenced by anyone。Descargo de responsabilidad: Recibí copias de estos libros del editor a cambio de una revisión gratuita y honesta。 Todas las opiniones aquí expuestas son mis propios pensamientos verdaderos， y no están influenciadas por nadie。 。。。more

Move over pop-up and lift-the-flap books！ A new game is in town！ Rufus Butler Seder's charming little book about animals in motion - the first ever "Scanimation" picture book - will appeal to the same demographic as the above （that is to say， anyone who likes fun。。。and um， young children。。。）， with its amazing moving pictures。 Guaranteed to keep little tykes engrossed （hey - it worked for me and my co-workers）， Gallop has the added benefit of being far less destructible than your average pop-up， Move over pop-up and lift-the-flap books！ A new game is in town！ Rufus Butler Seder's charming little book about animals in motion - the first ever "Scanimation" picture book - will appeal to the same demographic as the above （that is to say， anyone who likes fun。。。and um， young children。。。）， with its amazing moving pictures。 Guaranteed to keep little tykes engrossed （hey - it worked for me and my co-workers）， Gallop has the added benefit of being far less destructible than your average pop-up， with no flaps or parts that can be torn by careless fingers。 。。。more

My twins with ASD love this book。 Bonus: I can sometimes sneak in a pee break by thrusting this at them。

This is an amazing book， when you open the pages， there is a brief animation of an animal in movement。 The image on the front cover is a horse and like all the other images of a chicken， dog， cat and eagle among other things， the movement is very realistic。 The text is very simple， at a level that can be understood by a very young child。 This book is truly a pack of fun for young children and I highly recommend it。

This is the best of the Scanimation books by far。 But all of them are outstanding。 Fun。 Surprising！ A sure bet with most kids。 This one is animals running。 And it is excellently done。

I loved the part about climbing like a monkey！ I would use this book to show animal movements and show children it is not all the same。

We read the Portuguese version。Mommy: 5 stars。 Fun little book。 Good for practicing Portuguese with the kids。Leila: 5 stars。 I wanna keep it in my bookshelf。 There was a dog in there。 （What was it doing？） running。

Published: 2007 Very cool and exciting book！ Very advanced visuals， really making the animals come to life with the book。

The text is kind of silly - a slender thread for stringing the pictures together - but the moving images are so riveting that the kids don't mind。 The text is kind of silly - a slender thread for stringing the pictures together - but the moving images are so riveting that the kids don't mind。 。。。more

My 4 year old got this as a bday gift and LOVES it。 It encourages movement so may not be the best bedtime book but it's super fun。 And my 1。5 year old likes to open and shut the pages too。*now 5 and 7。5 and they still love it My 4 year old got this as a bday gift and LOVES it。 It encourages movement so may not be the best bedtime book but it's super fun。 And my 1。5 year old likes to open and shut the pages too。*now 5 and 7。5 and they still love it 。。。more

This book has two separate components: the moving illustrations and the actual text。 Both get 4 stars from me， but for different reasons and audiences。 First， the illustrations。 They move。 Seriously。 And they are amazing。 For a one-on-one reading time or for a child （or adult！） reading the book alone， these could provide many hours of enjoyment by just turning pages back and forth。 Yes， I did this。 Don't judge。 :） As for the text， it's simple， but with pleasant rhymes and rhythm that work very w This book has two separate components: the moving illustrations and the actual text。 Both get 4 stars from me， but for different reasons and audiences。 First， the illustrations。 They move。 Seriously。 And they are amazing。 For a one-on-one reading time or for a child （or adult！） reading the book alone， these could provide many hours of enjoyment by just turning pages back and forth。 Yes， I did this。 Don't judge。 :） As for the text， it's simple， but with pleasant rhymes and rhythm that work very well for a storytime （complete with acting out the movements！） for a larger group。 And the ending is very affirming to kids。 The issue I have is that the two elements don't work well together。 The story is too short for one-on-one time but the pictures are too small and the movement too fast for bigger groups。 Basically， that makes this book unusable for me。 But it's still a really cool book， so I can't make myself give it a lower rating。 。。。more
