PEANUTS: A SCANIMATION BOOK BY RUFUS BUTLER SEDER
Charlie Brown and the football, Snoopy’s happy dance, Schroeder at his toy piano—cherished characters and iconic moments come to life through the magic of Scanimation. Created by Rufus Butler Seder, an inventor, artist, and filmmaker fascinated by antique optical toys, Scanimation is a state-of-the-art six-phase animation process that combines the “persistence of vision” principle with a striped acetate overlay to give the illusion of movement. It harkens back to the old magical days of the kinetoscope, and the effect is astonishing, like a video without a screen. It is Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts—funny and wise and beloved, forever a part of our lives—like you’ve never seen before. Available for $14.95 at workman.com, amazon.com, Powell’s Books, Barnes and Noble, and independent book stores nationwide.
My Review:
This is one of the coolest books I have ever seen! The moving pictures with the quotes make for a perfect gift or keepsake for any Peanuts fan! I have never seen scanimation before and my kids and I went wild for it. They spent so much time watching the pictures move and come alive before their eyes. Such fun...5 stars!

My Review:
My boys went nuts for this Peanuts paint by numbers set! They think that is the coolest thing they ever saw. They have had coloring books, but never paint by numbers. I can remember doing them when I was little and as excited for the me to share in the fun of a white sheet becoming a beautiful finished product! I loved that the pictures were on very thick cardboard canvases (5 total) so that it would not get soggy and ruined when they were done. Plus there were a few other cool bonuses like 5 stands and an illustrated book as well as 10 paints and paint brush. What a great gift for art loving kids! 5 stars
