PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
On a clear sunny day, the animals of the zodiac prepare for a party in this straightforward, parade-like telling. One page at a time and in the traditional order, the animals travel up a hill with their contributions: among the others, Horse heads up with a large wok, Goat takes wild onions, and Monkey carries oil and spices. Simple text from Compestine reliably describes how each animal makes the journey ("Rooster strutted," "Dragon flew"), and Pang dedicates a festive full-spread landscape to each animal's trek. When night falls and Snake arrives last, empty-handed, it becomes clear that the party is Snake's birthday celebration, replete with long noodles. An author's note and note about zodiac animals conclude alongside a recipe for Dragon Beard Noodles. Ages 4–7.
