5.0 out of 5 starsOliver Chin is a wonderful storyteller
By Doc. Shock on March 24, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
My niece and her Nana were both born in the Year of the Tiger, four generations and 6.000 miles apart. I thought this would be a great way to introduce Erin to her culture of origin in her adopted land of the US. She is a delightful, creative being and this is one way of appreciating her beauty and how much joy she has brought to all of our lives.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Book For Our School Lunar New Year Celebration!!
By Julie A. Griffin on February 26, 2010
Format: Hardcover
Year of the Tiger was a great book to read to my students prior to our school Lunar New Year celebration. The illustrations are very appealing, kid friendly and seem to jump right off the page. The explanation of the Chinese Zodiac animals on the opening page helps to set the playful and informative tone of the story. Oliver Chin effortlessly weaves the animals of the Chinese Zodiac throughout and creates lovable characters and situations that the students can identify with. The book led to a wonderful discussion on how it is easy to make assumptions and form incorrect opinions about people you don't know..,just as both Su and Teddy's family did. The students pointed out that in the end, it was the kids who made the grownups see the error of their ways!

My students simply could not get enough, and have since come to my library to re-read The Year of the Tiger, and to "seek and find" each Chinese Zodiac Animal tucked away within the pages. I would highly recommend this book as well as Oliver Chin's Tales from the Chinese Zodiac books.

5.0 out of 5 starsGRRReat tale about courage and friendship!!!
By StuartLittle on March 16, 2010
Format: Hardcover
Our students have fond memories of Author Oliver Chin's visit and his reading of "Year of the Tiger." They loved his story about the unusual, unbreakable friendship between a girl and tiger and how children can sometimes teach better life lessons than their elders.

As mentioned in earlier reviews, this engaging story is paired perfectly with lively, colorful illustrations. It's fun to search for all the other animals from the Chinese zodiac as well.

Oliver Chin has produced another wonderful story to his Tales from the Chinese Zodiac series and we look forward to more! His books will captivate many young readers.

Be sure to check out another one of our school's favorites by this author, "Julie Blackbelt: The Kung Fu Chronicles."

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect gift for new moms!
By BellySF on March 2, 2010
Format: Hardcover
I am a big fan of Oliver Chin's Tales of the Zodiac series. The Year of the Tiger is the fifth in the series. I love these books-- they are the perfect gifts for new moms and I have bought them all. I feel the books are a more personal gift that celebrates the year of birth of the baby interweaved with an easy introduction to the Chinese Zodiac. This is an entertaining story of Tiger and the little girl Su. The story-telling, along with the rich illustrations truly flow together to give us a cute and fun hint of what someone's personality might be like born in the Year of the Tiger!

2.0 out of 5 starsReally silly. Not great story line.
By Arie Farnam on June 27, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is really silly, annoying illustrations. Possibly interesting to very young kids. It doesn't give you much of a sense of what the astrological sign is supposed to be about. That gets pretty buried under the silliness.
