Star Wars: A Scanimation Book: Iconic Scenes from a Galaxy Far, Far Away... Hardcover – May 12, 2010

Six months ago, I gave one of these to my 4 yo son and it's been on his nightstand ever since! He still looks at it several times a week. Here are my thoughts:PROS- Amazing design on how the animation works; pretty easy to be mesmerized by it.- Even though it's not a board book, it's still sturdy enough to allow my 1 yo to play with it.- Perfect stocking stuffer or companion gift. I bought many of these and like to include it with any Star Wars gift I give. I swear the parents love it more than the kids do.CONS- Due to the "magic" that has to occur, there really aren't that many pages and very little text.- Slightly darker than other Scanimation books I have so you'll need more room light.OVERALL- Love it! Here's a test for you: put this on your coffee table and see how many people pick this up. Lots of entertainment value.

I wasn't sure exactly what we were going to get when I ordered this book, but what a surprise when we received it. Although it was only 13 pages long, each page shared a fun action-like picture, which was so mesmerizing that it made us turn the pages back and forth, just to see the motion. I actually bought this for my husband, who is a big Star Wars fan. I think this book adds something unique to his collection. When he unwrapped this Christmas gift, my 10 year old nephew's eyes lit up. He was so jealous of his Uncle. It is not a book for just children, but instead it shares it's appeal to adults as well. If you want something fun, this is the book to get. It adds more than what a picture book would provide.

I bought this as a gift for my nephew who lives in a home for disabled children. He can't have a TV in his room or any sort of game system, and I thought this book was a good substitute for those types of distractions since the pictures really do move and come to life. It's infinitely better than the old style moving pictures which really only gave two different pictures. This looks like actual movement and is fun to watch.

I ordered the book for my nephew who is a huge Star Wars fan. It is really interesting and fun to look at. My husband grabbed it and looked at for over 30 minutes, going back and forth between the pages. He could not believe it wasn't some kind of computerized display. I think reading about the author and how and why he created and was able to perfect the pictures makes the book even more interesting. The information is on the author's website, not with the book, which is unfortunate. The book is a great conversation piece for children, grown-ups, and Star Ward fans.

What a neat novelty gift book for a Star Wars fan. I stumbled across this book on ebay, but found it here on Amazon for a much lower price.Bought it as a surprise for my 11 year old son, and all three of my kids enjoyed looking at it to figure out how it works.

This is SO cute...but I'm bummed that the first page isn't glued down. Not worth the hassle of returning but it was a gift for a friend. :(

We saw this at Kennedy Space Center and did not want to carry home so ordered through Amazon ( cheaper and shipped directly to Grandson.

I bought this book on a whim and was surprised by the reaction of my nieces and nephews (ages 10-20). Everyone just loved the book. We have an autistic child in the family and he loves Star Wars and he has now claimed ownership of the book. He loves the way he can control the pictures and movement. I would strongly recommend to anyone who likes Star Wars.
