5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful story, April 15, 2009
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Part of a picturebook series about the animals that represent the cycles of twelve years in Chinese culture, The Year of the Ox: Tales from the Chinese Zodiac is an engaging story featuring colorful, cartoony illustrations of Olivia the Ox, a young cow eager to earn her place in the world. Growing up and learning how to be helpful to other people can be real challenges, however - when Olivia's human friend Mei runs into trouble, can Olivia come to her aid in time? A dam threatens to burst and flood the village, and only the determination of Olivia the Ox can stave off doom! A wonderful story in its own right, The Year of the Ox deserves especial mention as a fun way to introduce children to the zodiac traditions of another culture.
