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 \u003cem\u003eThe Year of the Tiger\u003c\/em\u003e, 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 \u003cem\u003eTales from the Chinese Zodiac\u003c\/em\u003e books. -Julie Griffin, Librarian, Ohlone Elementary School, Palo Alto, CA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOliver Chin\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the \u003ci\u003eTales from the Chinese Zodiac\u003c\/i\u003e series, \u003ci\u003eThe Adventures of WonderBaby: From A to Z\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJulie Black Belt\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTimmy and Tammy's Train of Thought\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWelcome to Monster Isle\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBaltazar and the Flying Pirates\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJustin Roth is a professional illustrator, animator, and character designer.
