Waddle!: A Scanimation Picture Book

Shows the ways that a few animals (pig, snake, hummingbird, penguin, dolphin, etc.) move using some kind of optical-illusion thing where moving the page pulls on a panel inside the page and makes the images appear to move.

I think technically this is interesting to an adult, but the black lines that allow for the optical illusion make it pretty hard to actually see the image (as you can see from the cover) and hurt my eyes a bit. My niece doesn’t really care about seeing the movement but loves the onomatopoeia (e.g. “flip-flop-floop”). This book was published in 2009 and it would be interesting to see if the book technology has progressed since then.

My 1 1/2 year old enjoys this book. Of course he loves most books but I bought this one from the thrift store specifically because every Monday for six months this was the first book he'd grab from the shelf at my daughter's ballet class and we'd read it at least 3-4 times each lesson.

This book is a toy book that would be great for young children. It uses different verbs and oxymoron's to describe the animals actions.
In a class of 1st graders or even younger, this book could be used to teach children about new verbs for walk and about the definition of oxymoron's.
I would use this for 1st grade and younger.

Miguel Horta (Laredo) 2020 : "Uma obra muito adequada a mediação inclusiva com crianças com diversidade funcional."
Mónica Menezes (CCFAS2020): "A ideia de manipular um livro como um objeto de descoberta, para construir um percurso ou uma história com o leitor pareceu-me interessante para as crianças do básico. Um bom desbloqueador da comunicação, um estímulo para a criatividade. Costumamos usar pequenos objetos (peluches, por exemplo) no início das sessões de filosofia com crianças antes de introduzir as atividades. Este livro poderia ser um bom recurso."
Ana Pedro (CCFAS2020): "Alia palavras, poucas, cor vivas e imagens em movimento, de forma surpreendente. Apresenta-nos animais que ganham vida ao virar da página, devido show more à técnica original e cativante que é utilizada, estimulando a imaginação." show less
