Animated books

Animation embedded in books? You better believe it! With Scanimation (WaddleGallop, etc,) and Animotion (On The Go, etc.) technology, kids (and adults!) can watch in awe as animals, people, and vehicles move on the pages of the book - just like an old-fashioned animated clip! While the text on these books are typically limited to short rhyming phrases and there is little (to no) story whatsoever, the moving pictures still provide ample amusement and entertainment, while introducing young children to the concept of movement.

The Waddle! book had my toddler laughing out loud in the bookstore. I thought the colors on On The Go were more visible, though, and bought this instead.

These books are available at the local bookstores (National, Power Books, Fully Booked).
