From Booklist

Gr. 4^-6. Baker discusses the basics of computer animation in a book illustrated with photos of people at work and stills from feature films, short films, and commercials. No photograph seems quite so still as a shot taken from an animated film, where near-constant movement is expected, but the illustrations here give the pages a colorful look. The text is informative as far as it goes, but casual readers will want to hear more about familiar films, while real enthusiasts will want much more detail about the processes used in computer animation. For larger collections. Carolyn Phelan
