Gallop! A Scanimation Picture Book

You have your pop-pup books, your activity books, and your board books, but this is the first book I've seen that actually incorporates movement. Gallop! describes itself as a "Scanimation Picture Book," and as you turn each page, the image in the middle animates showing all sorts of things doing all sorts of things. It's hard to describe, but equally hard to put down.

I was actually shown this at a dinner party, and everyone there was entranced by it. If it's good enough for twenty-somethings, it's good enough for the under-ten crowd. Highly recommended.
