Waddle!: A Scanimation Picture Book

top 馬兒跑步的動作叫Gallop，企鵝搖搖晃晃走路的樣子叫 Waddle。2007年出版的動畫書《Gallop!》是童書出版界的全新創舉，躍上當年紐約時報排行榜童書銷售第一名！作者運用 Scanimation 這項專利新科技，在完全不使用電池的情況下，讓每一頁不同的動物活靈活現地動了起來。翻開第二集《Swing!》，可看到書中人物打棒球、翻筋斗、溜冰等等，同樣令人愛不釋手。 第三集《Waddle!》介紹了更多可愛又活潑的動物，彩色圖片也增添了許多翻閱動畫的樂趣。小朋友不但能藉此認識各種動物，還能學習跟這些動物有關的動詞：例如青蛙跳是Hop、蛇行是Slither、大象走路是Stomp…翻頁的驚喜令人無法抗拒，《Waddle!》是一本讓大人小孩都忍不住一翻再翻的驚奇好書！ 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.
