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. Ages 4 to 8.
