The ulti­mate guide to the Chi­nese Zodi­ac, fea­tur­ing fun facts, frame-wor­thy illus­tra­tions, and a choose your own adven­ture-style quiz to find your per­fect zodi­ac match!

Are you a patient Ox, a brave Tiger, or a friend­ly Pig? It’s time to meet your match!

This joy­ful cel­e­bra­tion of cul­tur­al tra­di­tions offers a fun­ny, inter­ac­tive, and beau­ti­ful­ly illus­trat­ed intro­duc­tion to the Chi­nese Zodi­ac for curi­ous kids ages 6–9. Read­ers will meet the twelve ani­mals of the Zodi­ac – from the pow­er­ful Drag­on to the ener­getic Horse – each with its own per­son­al­i­ty traits and tra­di­tions. But, there’s a twist! While Zodi­ac ani­mals are deter­mined by birth year, read­ers can also take the book’s play­ful flow­chart quiz to dis­cov­er which ani­mal tru­ly match­es their per­son­al­i­ty, remind­ing them that, ulti­mate­ly, no label can define them.

Span­ning near­ly 70 pages, Ani­mals of the Chi­nese Zodi­ac is packed with fas­ci­nat­ing facts and vibrant sto­ry­telling. A fold-out retelling of The Great Race leg­end reveals how the twelve ani­mals earned their place in the Zodi­ac, while live­ly pro­files intro­duce each animal’s strengths, lucky num­bers, best friend­ships, pos­si­ble future careers, and more. Ping Zhu’s lav­ish hand-paint­ed illus­tra­tions are bold, col­or­ful, and expres­sive, and the book’s eye-catch­ing foiled cov­er makes it a per­fect gift to be trea­sured for years to come.

Whether wel­com­ing Lunar New Year or learn­ing about the Chi­nese Zodi­ac for the first time, this essen­tial, authen­tic, and unique book brings an ancient tra­di­tion to life for a new generation.
