Gallop!
This quirky picture book combines retro appeal with state-of-the-art animation technology to create the feel of an old-fashioned kinetoscope within its pages. Each page is adorned with a seemingly simple black-and-white illustration of an animal or object behind a vertical screen. As the reader moves the opposite page, the illustration comes to life, making a horse gallop, a rooster strut, a chimp swing and one shining star sparkle. The illustrations in Gallop! are each accompanied by a chirpy, sing-song line of text aimed at the young reader (‘Can you gallop like a horse?’), but the book is equally likely to appeal to admirers of all ages, who will be seduced by its magical inner workings.
