Chinese Zodiac Animals

Sanmu Tang. Better Link (Tuttle, dist.), $8.95 paper (56p) ISBN 978-1-60220-977-0

This small-format guide teaches readers about characteristics of their Chinese zodiac signs, conveyed by cute cartoon illustrations: a “selfless” sheep tends to a broken robot, while an “impulsive and willful” horse goes skydiving. Tang includes advice about choosing professions, money management, as well as lucky colors and compatible signs. Readers with burgeoning interests in horoscopes should find it an engaging diversion. Ages 4–8. (Oct.)
