Proverbs to tell and remember
This book tells interesting stories about each Chinese Zodiac sign. The Zodiac signs are presented in the order of the 12-year cycle. For each fable, wise verses follow to depict its moral value - so cleverly told! The illustration is exquisite! If you've read The Empty Pot, you'd know her careful attention to detail and content of her drawings.

My 2 kids, 5 & 6 y.o., would've been able to connect better with more 'zodiac' info to personalize it for them. Instead these fables, while interesting (esp to an adult),...

My 2 kids, 5 & 6 y.o., would've been able to connect better with more 'zodiac' info to personalize it for them. Instead these fables, while interesting (esp to an adult), left them bored. 1 more thing, seeing the constellations on the inside cover flaps associated with each character was nice, but a comment as to when & where they appear in the sky on each character's page would've made it more useful. We love Demi's books, & this was our 1st disappointment. It felt like a rush job for a publisher, not the author or audience.
