This exposition on the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac and the attendant characteristics of each contains playful language and lively artwork that make the presentation fresh and appealing. Energetic calligraphy includes the Chinese sign for each animal along with a transliteration. A chart at the back will help readers figure out which animals match their birth month and year.
