A well written book but doesn't really go into how to animate. It more focuses on scripting and overall challenges faced with animating with a little bit of animation terminology and knowledge sprinkled in.

Great for anyone interested in Animation

After a short background of the author, this book delves into Animation. The different types, the 12 principles, and how you can market your skills once you've acquired them. The author even busts some myths about animation and how it has evolved over the years. I found this to be a very informative book on the topic. My daughter will also be interested in this as she aspires to become an animator. This book is geared for beginners and it has plenty in here to throughly inform you of the topic.
