WADDLE! Written and designed by Rufus Butler Seder. Workman, Thomas Allen, 2009. $16.95 ages 2 and up


"Can you waddle like a penguin? slip-slide-swoop! Can you hop like a frog? flip-flop-floop!"

Rufus Seder is an animator, intrigued by old world toys. To that end he uses a new technology called Scanimation to create four wonderful books for young children and their parents. Don’t be fooled…it won’t only be the children who go back again and again to watch the magic as animals and children move across each book’s twelve pages. First he gave us Gallop, then Kick, then Swing and now Waddle. This one again uses actions to intrigue and encourage its young readers to move and to look at color in the animals presented. Get ready to waddle, hop, prance, stomp, slither, flap, scamper and leap! And then do it all over again…and again…and again! It will wear you out!
