review 1: We discouvered Gallop while we were in SanFransico with out son at UCSF Hospital. We loved it and purchased it to give to our daughter. Last Christmas we found the board game for Gallop and bought it for our daughter since she loved the book. It came with Swing, which we absolutely loved. When we were back in SF I heard Waddle was out and searched everywhere for it. We finnaly found it at the gift shop at Childrens Hospital Central CA and bought it without even reading it first. We love that Waddle has color to the scanimations unlike Gallop and Swing. The ending to Waddle was unlike the other two books and we laughed and laughed. I admire Rufus Butler Seder for his creativeness and ability to create such "simple" books that my kids want to read over and over again back to... more back. They never get tired of them so theyre perfect for home, car rides, or even hospital stays.
review 2: The review I heard on KBYU was over-rated in my opinion. I was disappointed. Oh sure the words are colorful and few and all the right words for a toddler, "Can you WADDLE like a penguin? slip-slide-swoop!" Waddle, slip, slide, and swoop in orange the rest in black, each page similar in format with other bright fun colors, and yes the one picture on each page does move just as I was told. It is that one picture on each page I am so disappointed in, it's too dark, the movement is not easily seen, and even then you have to hold the book at just the right angle. A toddler will not enjoy or appreciate the pictures nearly as much as the publishing circle will. I would not buy this book, the library is just fine for this one. I still have "Swing" and "Gallop" on hold and will get them but I'm certain they will be the same. It really is a disappointment to me I was looking forward to something much more spectacular based on the review by I believe her name is Rosie Stevenson on KBYU Classical 89 radio. less
