Gallop!: A Scanimation Picture BookThere'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

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.

Foxxy Black Heel
Size: 6.5, Color: Black Patent
10/10 recommend. I love Steve Madden shoes. These were actually comfortable. I love the style and quality. The height was perfect for me. I was turning heads. The gold buckle and solid black made the heel pop!

Heel girly
Size: 8, Color: Burgundy Patent, Size: 8, Color: Burgundy Patent
The bottom is very slippery and you need cushions to go at the bottom of them. You have to be a real heel girly to walk in them, slightly comfortable.

Love color love style. Run extremely small and narrow and that’s saying a lot because I have small narrow feet. Had stuff on bottom of shoe as if it’s been worn
