MY RATING: 5 of 5 stars
The Great Race is a Chinese folklore story about the Chinese Zodiac. I remember that we were able to watch a movie about the 12 Chinese animal signs in Disney Channel Asia. I can't recall the exact story of each animal in the movie version, but I can remember some of them just like about the rat, ox, dragon, snake, and pig.
In this version by the Frances Lincoln Children's Books, Christopher Corr's narrative is more detailed I guess. Although, I'm not sure if the story of the other animal signs in this book is similar to the movie or based on the other myth versions. Overall, this charming book will definitely be loved by all kids because of the story and its brightly colored illustrations.
