About
One day, the Great Emperor of Heaven invited all the animals to visit him on the Jade Mountain. Twelve animals came, and they became the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac. What really happened on that day so long ago? And why is the cat not part of the zodiac? The rat, who was there, knows the true story.
Adapted from a Chinese Buddhist legend dating from the Han Dynasty (206 BCE - 220CE), this ancient porquoi tale explains why the cat and the rat are no longer friends while it introduces readers to the animals of the Chinese zodiac. Illustrated with stunning linoleum prints by an internationally acclaimed artist, here is a book to treasure.
