Description

Learn how the clever Little Rat earned his place as one of the Chinese Zodiac Animals.


 


This adorable Chinese-English bilingual children's book tells the story of the Little Rat and the Grandpa--unlikely allies who embark on an adventure to find a golden seed. They encounter rough seas, fierce guards and tall mountains, but--in the end--bring home a golden rice seed and save the village from going hungry.


 


Illustrated with unique Chinese ink paintings, this book also includes a "cultural explanation" section. Readers can reference a chart to see which zodiac animal represents their birth year, and read more about common characteristics of people born then. For the rat, birth years include 2008 and 2020.
