The illustrations are very appealing, kid friendly and seem to jump right off the page. The explanation of the Chinese Zodiac animals on the opening page helps to set the playful and informative tone of the story. Oliver Chin effortlessly weaves the animals of the Chinese Zodiac throughout and creates lovable characters and situations that the students can identify with. The book led to a wonderful discussion on how it is easy to make assumptions and form incorrect opinions about people you don't know.., just as both Su and Teddy's family did. The students pointed out that in the end, it was the kids who made the grownups see the error of their ways! My students simply could not get enough, and have since come to my library to re-read <em>The Year of the Tiger</em>, and to 'seek and find' each Chinese Zodiac Animal tucked away within the pages. I would highly recommend this book as well as Oliver Chin's <em>Tales from the Chinese Zodiac</em> books." -Julie Griffin, Librarian, Ohlone Elementary School, Palo Alto, CA<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Chin finds unique characters to expose children to hints of Asian-American culture while creating engaging and readable stories....These stories are cute and humorous while offering a lesson learning adventure.
