What's all the commotion? Animals in motion! There's never before been a book like Gallop! Employing a patented new technology called Scanimation, each page brings animals, along with one shining star, to life. The art literally moves. 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. It's magical. 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 this book will be amazed - and so will every parent. It's impossible not to flip the page, then flip it again, and again, and again to watch the horse really gallop, the cat jump, the butterfly flutter, the star twinkle. And "Wow!" is the only response.
All animals move, but how they move - whether they gallop, swim or fly - is a source of fascination for children. With its blend of art (using a technology that makes the figures actually move on the page) and rhyme, this book introduces children to a variety of animal motion.
