Book Overview:

Become an artist and filmmaker in one go with an exciting new twist on the coloring book. Kids are invited to color in the pictures, take photos of them using a free Blink Book app (downloaded separately onto a phone or tablet), and watch them turn into animated films . . . as easy as color, snap, app! With sixteen spreads to color, users are able to produce sixteen animated episodes totaling eight minutes’ worth of video — and will be thrilled to play the role of creator in this cutting-edge blend of art and technology.

Turn your artwork into animated films! Here is a truly innovative coloring book designed to bring pictures to life with the help of a free Blink Book app.

My Review:

Color, Snap, App! My First Animated Coloring Book takes coloring to a whole new level.  To do this, you first color the pictures in the book.  Then you take a photo of the pictures on your smartphone or tablet, and use the Blink Book app to make an animated movie.

You will need to install the Blink Book app to make the pictures become animated.  The app turns your pictures into animated movies after you've snapped photos of the pictures on your smartphone or tablet.  Your completed creations move and you can discover fascinating facts about the objects and things you've colored.

The inside cover of the book has interesting facts about animals.  For instance, you can learn that many butterflies are brightly colored and patterned to trick predators into thinking they are poisonous.  Or, that a zebra's stripes help keep flying insects away.

It's a fun experience to color and see the finished result.  It's another to see that completed picture come to life with animation!

Win It!
