GALLOP!: A SCANIMATION PICTURE BOOK
Book ID/图书代码： 14560007B12211
English Summary/英文概要： There’s never before been a book like Gallop! Employing a patented new technology called Scanimation, each page is a marvel that brings animals, along with one shining star, to life with art that literally moves. It’s impossible not to flip the page, and flip it again, and again, and again.
A first book of motion for kids, it shows a horse in full gallop and a turtle swimming up the page. A dog runs, a cat springs, an eagle soars, and a butterfly flutters. Created by Rufus Butler Seder, an inventor, artist, and filmmaker fascinated by antique optical toys, 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. 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 the book will be amazed—and so will every parent.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《飞奔》是第一部采用浏览动画新技术的书。每页里都充满了惊奇，动物们随着一颗闪亮的星星移动，让你忍不住一页一页地翻开，爱不释手。这是第一本儿童动画书，页面上的一匹飞奔的马和一只游曳于水中的乌龟栩栩如生。小狗奔跑着，小猫跳了起来，老鹰冲向蓝天，蝴蝶翩翩起舞。路副斯是一位发明家、艺术家和影片制作人，他对过时的随意的玩具很着迷。浏览动画是第六代最新的动画技术，它有机地融合了“视觉一致原则”和条形的醋酸盐覆盖面，制造出了运动的幻觉。《飞奔》将你带回到看活动电影的神奇的日子，效果令人震撼。
Awards/获奖情况：Review
"Gallop, by Rufus Butler Seder, made an obvious case for itself with ooh-ah graphics, using trademarked Scanimation, a low-tech marvel of sliding paper and stripes. Turn the page, and you set black-and-white pictures of various animals into motion - that is, if certain short people ever let you turn the page. Your kids will elbow you out of the way. They will also elbow each other out of the way."---The Washington Post
"At first glance, this looks like a regular old picture book—but the second you open it up, you’ll be mesmerized. Thanks to a brand-new technique called "scanimation," the images on each page seem to move, as though you were watching a film instead of simply reading. Horses gallop, eagles soar—and young readers’ jaws drop! It’s the coolest book we’ve seen in a while."

"Readers will gasp with delight when they open this book, produced as paper-over-board: a hidden tab in each heavy page slides an acetate layer printed with vertical black lines over an encoded, detailed image of a horse, rooster, turtle or other creature, and the layers’ interaction creates the illusion of motion. The black-and-white images openly reference the motion photography of Eadweard Muybridge (an influence that Seder acknowledges on the copyright page) and they contrast with the bright palette used for the spare, reader-directed text. ("Can you soar like an eagle?/ Whoosh-whoosh-glide!/ Can you swing like a chimp?/ Swoop-swoop-slide!") This book may encourage plenty of galloping—and jumping, running and bounding—on the part of young readers; adults will find it a marvel to look at in its own right."---Publishers Weekly, starred review
