This is ok. H liked looking at pictures of other babies, but it's kinda in media res for the animals racing.

Also as a horse I gotta say "scared and runs away" is not usually what I think for the sign, but oh well ( )

This book introduces the reader to the myth of the Chinese Zodiac. The animals are having a race and each two page spread tells us about one of the animals and what it is doing at some point in the race. The text is in both English and Chinese. The picture accompanying the text is of a baby toddler doing a similar action as the animal. The concept is cute, but the story just ends with the rat winning the race and there is nothing more to it. The book appears to be aimed at young children with the photos, but they will not understand the text. I am a bit confused as to how to rate this one. The publisher, Orca Book Publishers, provided me with a copy of this book to read. The rating, ideas and opinions are my own. ( )
