2 A New York Times bestseller, Safari is a magical journey for the whole family. Readers, as if on African safari, encounter eight wild animals that come alive using never-before-seen Photicular technology. Each full-color image is like a 3-D movie on the page, delivering a rich, fluid, immersive visual experience. The result is breathtaking. The cheetah bounds. The gazelle leaps. The African elephant snaps its ears. The gorilla munches the leaves off a branch. Itâ s mesmerizing, as visually immediate as a National Geographic or Animal Planet special. Accompanying the images is Safari, the guide: It begins with an evocative journal of a safari along the Mara River in Kenya and interweaves the history of safaris. Then for each animal there is a lively, informative essay and an at-a-glance list of important facts. Itâ s the romance of being on safariâ and the thrill of seeing the animals in motionâ in a book unlike any other.

3 (Entertainment Weekly)â œshots of cheetahs, rhinos, and gazelles spring to life as the pages turn.â â Entertainment Weekly (Audubon magazine)â œan imaginative interpretation of the real thing.â â Audubon magazine A magical journey. A safari in your hands.  Animals in living motion, as real as if you were there. The cheetah bounds, the lion charges. The African elephant snaps its ears. Using unique Photicular technology, SAFARI is the adventure of a lifetime, and a book unlike any other.  Experience it for yourself. This book is absolutely AMAZING! As you turn the pages the pictures "come to life" as if you are watching a short video!normally when I purchase a gift on I just have them wrap it and send the gift directly to the person, but as a Christmas present I bought a few of these "Photicular" books and wanted to wrap them myself..i was simply amazed when I looked through it! Even my Husband had to come over and see for himself.not only would I recommend these as a gift, I would suggest having them be delivered to you first so you can enjoy them before you give them away! à Ÿ  Received my Safari Photicular book quickly and I totally love it! In fact, not only am I fascinated with it, my husband and four year old grandson love it too. It feels like you're actually watching the animals run in the wild. I wish I could afford to actually see them in the wild, but for now Nat Geo and books like this fill the void. The book gives a quick blurb about the animal's size, habitat, diet, and population status and has a great feel and vintage look to it. The only complaint I have (reason for 4 stars) is that a proceed of the purchase does not go to help protect these beautiful animals. I just find that I'm much more aware these days of the purchases I make and whether or not they contribute to a greater good. That doesn't take away from the beauty of the book though. I'm pretty sure anyone you purchase this for would be fascinated with it and love it. An amazing, ingenious creation! Each page of this book comes alive with motion - like a paper video player - with an engaging animated clip of an animal in motion. What a wonderful way to learn about nature, or just to have a fun experience up close and personal with the great beasts of Africa. Already bought 2 copies as gifts for my daughter's friends, and watched many delighted reactions as grown-ups admire the copy I have on my desk at work. It's really "next-generation book," a little treasure for anyone who loves optical wonders and smart art.

4 Just came back from Florida and saw this Safari book there. Could not buy and bring home as it was too heavy, so pleased to see it was on, only to find that it is now sold at Costco (you may not want to print this though). Price was very good online so not bothered. Book is just amazing and six month old grandson - Brayden, just loves the photo. Giggles when he sees them. Also bought the Ocean book - same great quality. Amazing books. Lie it's companion, Ocean, this book is marvelous. The animals move through the pages like they might decide to step right out. There's such a treasure of information about each one that if you can turn your eyes away from the pictures, you'll find there's lots to learn. An amazing book. The coolest book you will ever see. Definitely a coffee table book that will wow everyone. It looks beautiful, antique like on the surface, very classy. Then whe you open it and see the optical illusion of the movement of the animals, it's so very cool. I saw this at someone's house & just had to purchase one for myself. It also has very interesting facts about the animals on the page. I would recommend this to anyone. Don't let the price put you off, it's very well constructed. Grandchildren love to look at the pictures, they get a kick out of them all moving on the page. I keep it up and monitor them (age 2 and 4) so they don't wear it out looking at it and turning the pages. Original and attractive no doubt. I bought this for a school library and it was a perfect choice. The kids where thrill with the way each animal move with just no certain mechanism, for them magic.although everyone was happy i sense the the mechanism and the content of the book were for different audiences, and this distract the attention of a good reader.
