Overview

It's Waddle! And it's in color. And boy, is it irresistible. In the same way that kids can't read Gallop! without wanting to gallop around the room, Waddle!, an animals-in-motion Scanimation book, will inspire prancing, hopping, stomping, and scampering. And did we mention color? Created by the optical genius behind the phenomenal #1 and #2 New York Times bestselling children's books, Gallop! and Swing!, Waddle! adds touches of color to the images and integrates it into the text. That prancing pig is pink, the leaping dolphin is blue, the slithering snake yellow. The Scanimation itself is also more lifelike, as the author continues to refine his patented Scanimation process, resulting in a more fluid, realistic motion.

Overview

It's Waddle! And it's in color. And boy, is it irresistible. In the same way that kids can't read Gallop! without wanting to gallop around the room, Waddle!, an animals-in-motion Scanimation book, will inspire prancing, hopping, stomping, and scampering. And did we mention color? Created by the optical genius behind the phenomenal #1 and #2 New York Times bestselling children's books, Gallop! and Swing!, Waddle! adds touches of color to the images and integrates it into the text. That prancing pig is pink, the leaping dolphin is blue, the slithering snake yellow. The Scanimation itself is also more lifelike, as the author continues to refine his patented Scanimation process, resulting in a more fluid, realistic motion. Nothing else compares.

Waddle! teaches color and movement. Its language is a joy, the rhymes inspiring, the animals full of life. And one more thing: Waddle! has a surprise ending. Something else to grab the reader—literally.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
"What's all the commotion? Animals in color in motion!" Call them optical illusions or simply miracles; Rufus Butler Seder's Scanimation books arrest our attention. In previous incarnations, his Gallop and Swing used this fascinating technology to show humans and other creatures in action. Now he adds color and penguins to the mix!
Publishers Weekly
On the heels of Gallop! and Swing!, Seder's latest Scanimation ode to movement adds color to its bestselling formula, mostly to good effect. Like the previous books, the simple text poses playful questions (“Can you hop like a frog? flip-flop-floop!”). The level of detail on a few animals (the hopping frog, leaping dolphin and chomping alligator) is striking, but the addition of color also has the effect of reducing the contrast, and thus the detail, in others (notably the pig, hummingbird and bear), whose features are indistinct. Still, readers should find the animations mesmerizing. Ages 4–8. (Oct.)\
From The Critics
PreS-K—Seder's "scanimation" books utilize his recognizable gimmick to varied effect. As readers turn each page, the animal in the stripy circle seems to prance, slither, hop, or flap. The text is predictably simple: "Can you waddle like a penguin?/slip-slide-swoop!/Can you hop like a frog?/flip-flop-floop!" The book culminates with, "If you can waddle,/stomp or hop,/…you'd better run! The alligator's/gonna/getcha!" Unfortunately, there is no logic in going from being able to move like all the animals to being attacked by the alligator. However, all issues aside, the moving animals and the encouragement of audience participation is sure to appeal to the intended audience, who probably won't care about the lackluster text. Ultimately, this is a one-trick pony.—Amy Lilien-Harper, The Ferguson Library, Stamford, CT

    Scanimation ... a whole new way for kids to learn to love books.

    This book absolutely delighted my grandkids and I couldn't stop flipping through the pages myself.

    Lots of fun

    My 2 year old grandson was enthralled by the moving pictures. It's a winner!
    Also, it is quite sturdy, so it should last a long time as busy fingers peruse the pages of the book.

    Fun Book For Little Ones!

    This book is so much fun. My 3yo loves making the animals "run" across the pages. It's a great book for him to "read" to himself.

    Captivating!

    This little book will be a favorite of young and old alike. The animation is extraordinary. My 2 yr old grandson loves to hop, jump and slither like the animals in the book. Good one to give and share.

    Great for sharing with the busy minds and hands of young children!

    This is the third in the series (Swing, Gallop) that I've purchased to share with grandchildren ages 7, 5 and 3. They are fascinated with the "magical" movement on each page and like to look at the books over and over. The ending of this book (Waddle) was attention-grabbing for them. Fun for sharing!

    Great for Grandchildren

    My four grandchildren loved this book. One of them memorized it right away (she's five) and she would 'read' it to the others who would act out the action in the book. It is very probably the one book that got her started on reading, which she picked up shortly afterward.

    Well worth the price (I bought it on sale).
