The Rooster's Antlers: A Story of the Chinese Zodiac

32 pp. | Holiday | September, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-8234-1385-3 $$16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by YongSheng Xuan. In this unusual version of the origin of the Chinese zodiac, Dragon, ashamed of his bald head, borrows Rooster's antlers. When the Jade Emperor ranks Dragon ahead of Rooster, he "squawked with rage" and is crowing his protest to this very day. The illustrations--done in the style of traditional Chinese cut-paper art--provide a bold complement to the text.
