Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Gaze in wonder as mysterious images transform into magical animations. Make the horses gallop, a flag wave, 3D objects turn, and see London landmarks come to life. Many other familiar objects spin, rotate and animate through the pages of this book. All that is needed is the special acetate overlay (provided in the book) to bring the images to life Moving images very first appeared in the 19th century as simple optical devices such as the Thaumatrope and the Zoetrope. The process of displaying sequences of still images in rapid succession - to show apparent motion - is the basis of early film animation and motion pictures.

Not at all what I expected. Would NOT have purchase had I realized it was 3 inches by 4!
You also have to cut out the 'film' from the very first page and then hold over the pages to follow. Too much $.
I am stuck with two...maybe a stocking stuffer.

I bought this book for my kid and I'm glad I did it. He was really delighted. Probably his excitement will pass soon, but it sure was a great little gift.

I bought this book for my son (6 years old) and he like it so much. good present to motive his imagination.
Rated by buyers -
I love this book for being simple and yet smart enough to bring up an animation from static images. Low price also makes it very affordable. Could be a great gift to one who likes optical illusions.
Rated by buyers -
A fascinating concept. The illusion is very real and deceptively simple. This book does a good job of presenting a very clever idea. Everybody who sees it is flabbergasted.
