Summary: Nice book!
Review: A great book. Fairy tale that children will love combined with Chinese zodiac info. I recommend this book to teachers who are teaching their students about China and parents who want to give their bookwormy child a treat.

Summary: Nice book!
Review: While this story is a little different than most about some details of the zodiac's origins, it holds true to the basic story [with the emperor choosing the animals]. My daughter really enjoyed this story. The illustrations are bold and bright, based on Chinese paper cuts. This is a book that can be read year-round and should not be relgated to only the "new year" period. It can also be read during the celebrations to a class without them all turning into barking/crying/braying representations of their own animals which some of the other books seem to inspire more.
