Safari: A Photicular Book

Fabulous book & beautifully illustrated

The lenticular/moving pictures of animals are AWEsome! Great gift!!

My 2 1/2 year old son LOVES this book. It has thick pages he can't rip, it has animals he recognizes and he can make them move easily. It has information about each animal which he may not care much about now, but I know this book will be on his shelf for years to come as it is sturdy and he will eventually be more interested in the detailed information about each animal. Worth the price and cheaper than many other stores I have found this book in.***UPDATE JAN 2020***5 years late and my almost 7 1/2 year old STILL loves this book. It has held up. He has never been a kid that destroys things, but still, this book doesn't have a bend, rip, tear and looks brand new. Now that my son reads, he loves to read the details about each animal and still enjoys "moving" the animals. As I suspected, this book was one for the long haul! Highly recommend.

The media could not be loaded. The video I posted pretty much says it all. The illusion of movement comes from the shifting of pixels as the page turns. You can control the direction of the “film” and speed by turning the page slower or faster and up and down, almost like a flip-book. This series opens from the side of the book, so it is very atypical, but there are a lot of good facts about the animals in it. This is a good educational gift, especially for those without internet access.

My grandson has autism and loved the books so he could make them move

This book is really fun and intresting the kids loved it, and the pictures moving are really cool

Great book for children.

Received my Safari Photicular book quickly and I totally love it! In fact, not only am I fascinated with it, my husband and four year old grandson love it too. It feels like you're actually watching the animals run in the wild. I wish I could afford to actually see them in the wild, but for now Nat Geo and books like this fill the void. The book gives a quick blurb about the animal's size, habitat, diet, and population status and has a great feel and vintage look to it. The only complaint I have (reason for 4 stars) is that a proceed of the purchase does not go to help protect these beautiful animals. I just find that I'm much more aware these days of the purchases I make and whether or not they contribute to a greater good. That doesn't take away from the beauty of the book though. I'm pretty sure anyone you purchase this for would be fascinated with it and love it.

I have had it on my classroom book shelf and grade 8s to 12s found it engrossing. Picture 17/18 year olds running to the book shelf to get it first!Now I give lots of scanimation books as presents to kids.

Highly recommend this book and this seller thank you !

Perfecto .

Meu filho de três anos ama este livro! Ele realmente é belíssimo. As imagens são repletas de movimento, em razão dos recursos holográficos. O livro é importado e todo em inglês. Meu sobrinho, da mesma idade do meu filho, também adora o livro e sempre corre para manuseá-lo a cada vinda aqui em casa - até já comprei um segundo exemplar para presenteá-lo no seu aniversário.

Brilliant stuff
