Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Swing! does for kids what Gallop! does for animalsa 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. 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.




Rating: - Fun for Parents, too
We love this book at our house. The kids even took it to "show and tell" on Thanksgiving with extended family. Everyone loved it - esp. the adults. What a fun book! I'm getting Gallop!

Rating: - Great Book!
This book works the same way as Gallop. (Another great book) I got it for my grandchildren last year. When I go to babysit they still bring this out for me to read. I just bought Swing for my three year old grandson for Christmas. I can't wait to give it to him. He's going to go bonkers over it.

Rating: - Another winner from Rufus Butler!
Fans of Rufus Butler's previous book "Gallop" will love this new offering. This book has kids in various motions - riding a bike, moving on ice etc. Although the suggested age group says 4-8, I'd say even babies-toddlers will appreciate this and be enthralled by the moving images. Though the idea behind this is by no means novel, it still has a magical feel to it and even adults will be fascinated!

Rating: - Fun book
This book is the 2nd book by Rufus Butler. It takes an old concept and brings it to life in a fun book where children can make pictures move! I say "an old concept" because this idea of moving pictures has been around for a long time; I had books similar in type when I was a child. Very cute book, lots of fun to look at. Great for 2-4 yrs.

Rating: - Great gift! COOL CONCEPT!
I just saw this book at a baby shower, picked it up and played with it for about 10-15 minutes. What a great idea for a book! Adults all passed it around and everyone who held it had a positive comment about it. COOL AWESOME WEIRD NEAT were some of the words to describe their reactions to this book. I am going to get this one along with GALLOP as a gift for babies and toddlers birthdays that will come up soon.
