The Story of the Chinese Zodiac




The Story of the Chinese Zodiac (El Zodiaco Chino)
by Monica Chang (Retold by) , Arthur Lee (Illustrator) , Beatriz Zeller (Translator)
Yuan-Liou Publishing Company, 1994

Summary:  The retelling of the Chinese legend of how their zodiac was created.  All of the animals are called to race, with the first 12 to cross the line earning a place in the zodiac.  Cat and Rat have a plan....

Lesson:  I read this the week of Chinese New Year.  I also made bookmarks with the birth years of all the grade levels corresponding to their Chinese Zodiac sign.  The children had fun figuring out their year, and that of siblings and friends. 

Level:  K-3rd
