The story of the week is “The Race for the Chinese Zodiac” a retelling of the traditional Chinese folktale about how the different animals  became associated with each of the 12 years in the 12 year  cycle of the Chinese Zodiac. Gabrielle Wang retells the ancient fable with a directness that gets at the character of each animal, and Sally Rippin uses traditional ink and brush painting combined with whimsical depictions of the animals faces to awesome overall effect. As a bonus the Chinese character for each animal is included!. Enjoy.
