Chinese Zodiac Bedtime Stories: (Black & White) (Paperback)

This book was written to be enjoyed by people of all ages. It brings to life each of the twelve characters of the Chinese zodiac in twelve separate short stories. Each of the twelve animal stories contains within it a moral or good advice concept such as: cooperation, loyalty, personal acceptance, and not being judgmental. There are two non-zodiac bonus stories at the end for a total of 14 stories. Each story describes a different part of China with animal characters appropriate to that area so that children can learn a little bit about China. Each story also includes a cute picture of the characters in the story drawn by Showyuh, who is of Chinese ethnicity from Taiwan. These stories are especially designed to be enjoyed by parents with their children. In this time of so many electronic devices, the close interactions between parents and their kids have often suffered. These short stories allow for discussion and mutual enjoyment between the generations without being overly time consuming in an age of short attention spans and hectic schedules.
