Okay, so what’s a cool gift for your kid on his birthday? A chic new remote control car? An educational learning system? Or a cool action figure that moves like the real thing? Well, whatever that is, your kid will sure love the idea of getting a gadget gift from you. But you know what, there is something unique that you can give that will sure mesmerize him. Something like Gallop! – the Scanimation picture book.

So, why Gallop!? Because the pictures on this book create the illusion of motion such as jumping, running, and bounding. At first glance, you might think that it is just an ordinary picture book. But the second you open it, even you will be mesmerized at how the animals in the picture seem to move like the real thing. You’ll find a turtle swimming, a horse galloping, a cat springing, a dog running, an eagle flying, and a whole lot more. Your son will sure be amazed at the movements of the animals in the picture, and for sure he couldn’t wait to show it to all his friends.

Now, maybe you’re thinking what makes the movements possible in this picture book. Well, it’s all about a patented new technology called Scanimation. As defined, it 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. So, once you open one, you will notice that in a hidden tab in each heavy page slides an acetate layer that is printed with vertical black lines over encoded and detailed images of animals like rooster, turtle, and horse. When these layers interact, the illusion of motion is created.

The Gallop!: A Scanimation Picture Book (Scanimation Books) is really the coolest book you and your kid will ever see! So, get one now!
