Starred Review.
Admirers of Gallop! which last year introduced Seder''s
astonishing Scanimation technology, won''t want to miss this
sports-themed follow-up. Open the die-cut cover and see a baseball
player swing his bat at a ball, then watch as the ball zooms
ever-larger to fit the acetate window showcasing all this action.
Yes, there''s motion on each of these spreads, or the illusion of
motion, as hidden engineering triggers codes on the bw

內容簡介: |
Published last fall, "Gallop " introduced the amazing
technology called Scanimation and took the children''s book world by
storm. It became an instant bestseller--#1 on The New York Times
children''s list. Now "Swing " does for kids what "Gallop " does for
animals--a boy rides a bike, a girl kicks her soccer ball, a
swimmer cuts through the water, and a skater pirouettes on ice. The
effect is joyous, magical, mesmerizing, and taps into the the
endless fascination that children find in watching other children.
The second book created by Rufus Butler Seder, the inventor,
artist, and filmmaker who developed Scanimation out of his
obsession with antique optical toys and other pre-motion-picture
illusions, "Swing " uses "persistence of vision" and a patented
state-of-the-art multiphase animation process to create
astonishment. There is nothing else like this unique, patented
technology that literally inspires wonder. The images burst with
activity, and adding greatly is a happy, rhyming text that captures
in words the pure energy of the figures in motion. You can''t put it
down.
