Rating:
Summary: Captivating
Review: As I read the book I can't help but think of the people around me and how things are all related. It's fascinating and I find myself stopping to search the horoscope book to find more answers. Really really interesting. I keep the book by my bedside for quick reference as I think about the day.

Summary: Easy to understand
Review: I thought the book was wonderful, although it doesn't contain a complex amount of detail towards compatiblity of children...(you can find that on a chinese placemat) it is a great way for people unfamiliar with the topic to easily understand, or use as a reference.
Also, the short stories at the end of each chapter are fun and interesting.

Summary: Great book for your family!
Review: I've been following Theodora Lau's work for years and was thrilled to see this new book on children's horoscopes. I'm a new mom and find the information very fascinating, especially about birth order. I highly recommend this book for those who want to learn more about chinese horoscopes and their families! I'm giving one to every new mom I know!

Summary: Capitivating page turner
Review: Once you start reading the book you find yourself thinking about the people around your life. I had a new perspective on life and why certain people acted in different situations. I think the horoscope book will bring more answers and I will have to go buy it and find more answers. Really really interesting. A real page turner and I hope to see the next book come out soon.

Summary: Best thing about it was the cover
Review: Sorry, Ms. Lau! I awaited the release of this book for a long time, and was sorely disappointed. The book claimed to give information about sibling relationships, and it did talk about birth order, but there was nothing about how compatible the signs were. The whole organization of the book was clunky, and the passages felt rushed and flippant. I wish more time had been spent on content and really exploring family relationships in terms of the Chinese zodiac. The topic is compelling but unfortunately it wasn't treated here in a way that gives the reader any real insight. Save your pennies and spend it on Lori Reed's Complete Book of Chinese Horoscopes (I think it's out of print but still findable), which has info on children's personalities and then some.

Summary: Excellent reading
Review: This book has been extremely enlightening for parents as well as fun for reading aloud to our children, who enjoyed the Chinese fables at the end of each chapter. Uplifting and well presented. "How the Tiger got his stripes", "How the Rat got to be No.1" and How the Boars moved a mountain" were particularly beautiful. A wonderful addition to our library and we will re-read it again for years to come!
