Waddle by Rufus Butler Seder

It’s Waddle! And it’s in colour. And boy, is it irresistible.

In the same way that kids can’t read Gallop! without wanting to gallop around the room, Waddle!, an animals-in-motion Scanimation book, will inspire prancing, hopping, stomping, and scampering. And did we mention colour?

Created by the optical genius behind the phenomenal #1 and #2 New York Times bestselling children’s books, Gallop! and Swing!, Waddle! adds touches of colour to the images and integrates it into the text. That prancing pig is pink, the leaping dolphin is blue, the slithering snake yellow.

The Scanimation itself is also more lifelike, as the author continues to refine his patented Scanimation process, resulting in a more fluid, realistic motion. Nothing else compares.

Waddle! teaches colour and movement. Its language is a joy, the rhymes inspiring, the animals full of life. And one more thing: Waddle! has a surprise ending. Something else to grab the reader-literally.

All animals move, but how they move – whether they waddle, stomp, or fly, is a source of endless fascination for children. This book uses ‘scanimation’ technology to simulate movement by the simple turning of a page.
