Very Creative
I was in Borders children's department and a little girl was fascinated with this book. She kept moving the page back and forth. I watched her a minute and then asked her the name of the book. I was so captivated with this new (to me) technology that I bought 'Gallop!' for my one-year-old grandson. He is not too young for it and he loves it. He is a careful child. 'Gallop!' is like a flip book, but the pages don't flip, yet the animals move. 'Gallop!' is a very clever and very creative book.

Coolest book I've ever seen!
I recent found this book in a gift store in PA and was absolutely amazed to see how the animals move in a lifelike fashion. At first I thought it must be battery operated but as the book has no power source, I discovered that the pictures move in a high tech version of a flip book. You have got to see this to believe it! Everyone who I've shown it to has been astounded! You can't go wrong with this for the holidays. Any child would love it!!!

Sure fire gift idea!
Any 2-5 year old (and their parents) will love this book. The neat thing about Gallop! (other than the "magically" moving animals) is what it teaches to those tender young readers, that books can be such a delight inside! Little kids will love to turn the pages to see the next animal run, walk or gallop across the page.

Fascinating!
I bought this as a birthday present for a 6 year old girl and initially thought that it might be better suited for a younger child because of the simple wording in the text. The moving pictures are so fascinating however that it is hard to put down.
