The Year of the Rat: Tales from the Chinese Zodiac
Another year, and another book in the Tales from the Chinese Zodiac. Last year we looked at the Year of the Pig, and this year we have the Year of the Rat.
The Year of the Rat is the story of Ralph the Rat. He's a mischievous little creature who's trying to learn his way in the world. At first, nobody thinks much of him as he gets into trouble learning to be a rat. But then he saves the day for his master and the family, and those bad habits don't seem so horrible anymore. The story teaches the reader to be true to oneself, and eventually others will come around to appreciate you.
The artwork, by Miah Alcorn, is very similar to the other books in this series. It's playful and expressive, and it goes with the story very well. The action in the foreground is easy to follow, and the background illustrations are done in muted colors, so its easy to tell which is which.
