this book is fab! June 3, 2008
because it is simple, engaging, intriguing, addictive (I have to keep turning the pages). It's a delight to share with a child, and a joy to play with by yourself.
Really cute! March 8, 2008

I came across this book in a farm shop and bought it for double the price here! I was so impressed by the moving pictures that I bought it for my two neices. It's a book for the very young but the pictures make it so interesting it's worth getting just for that.
 Barcode based scanimation! December 10, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a pretty short book and would probably be an accompaniment to a bed time story rather than the main story itself.
It consists of a series of bar code like images, and when you turn a page a tab inside is pulled to make an animated image. The first few times you look at this book you won't be able to stop yourself from turning the pages quickly and slowly to perfect the speed of the animation!
It is a novelty - and thankfully a pretty tough one! Unlike books which contain pull down tabs which can easily bend and tear, the pages are thick and the tab to action the action (as it were) is internal to the 2-ply tick card pages so it can't be broken.
Like the other reviewer, I also like the monkey swinging through the trees!
A Wizard Book - the closest thing you will get to the books of Harry Potter's world! December 6, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Every odd page in this book has a picture which comes to life as you open the page. It's truly astounding. The title comes from the horse which gallops on the cover, but my favourite is the monkeys swinging through the trees. It's the closest you will come to the books featured in the Harry Potter stories where the pictures come to life - whilst the pictures are of necessity only black and white it is truly a magical feature. I think it makes the book suitable for all ages. I bought it for my 2 year old, but I am as intrigued and impressed by it as he is. I think its a great buy for any age. Children will view it with awe and adults will simply be incredibly impressed. Buy it now!
