"The Story of the Chinese Zodiac"
In bold, beautiful illustrations and a simple but engaging text, Christopher Corr explains the story of the Chinese Zodiac and how the Jade Emperor decided to name the years after twelve animals in order to count time as it passes.
We see the animals compete against one another to win this wonderful prize: the rat and the cat – the latter tricked by the former – the ox, the tiger, the rabbit and more.
The dragon is particularly resplendent in the brightest of bright orange but all of the animals leap from the page in Corr’s blazing folk-art-style. An intriguing story and a fascinating introduction to the Chinese calendar, this is also a gorgeous book to look at.
