Midwest Book Review
A whimsical tale of confusion and adventure, as Lin and the puppy meet the other animals of the Chinese zodiac, some in their imagination, and some in real life... The cartoony and angular art style captures the eagerness of the young dog perfectly, in this upbeat astrological tale.
