This book goes through the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Each two page spread is a illustration of the animal with the name in English and the Chinese character, and the attributes associated with that animal. The back of the book tells which birth year goes with which animal.

This is a fun multicultural book which lends itself perfectly to a lesson on the Chinese New Year. Pre-K students and even K students would love to know which animal is there birth year and could color a picture and learn to say the word in Chinese. The illustrations are adorable and the pages are sturdy.
