01 Nov / The Year of the Rat: Tales From the Chinese Zodiac by Oliver Chin, illustrated by Miah Alcorn [in Bloomsbury Review]
Bing’s new pet, baby rat Ralph, proves to be a handful as he must learn to mind his own business and rein in his curiosity, not to mention his uncontrollable gnawing. Of course, his smarts and resourcefulness eventually save the day.
The third in Chin’s animal zodiac series provides a waggish romp exploring the characteristics of those born in the upcoming Year of the Rat (like my daughter).
