“I love rabbits, obviously, so 'The Year of the Rabbit' a sweet
story about Rosie, a rabbit with extra-long ears, was right up my
alley. Written by Oliver Chin with fantastic illustrations by
Justin Roth, this book is another great Immedium release. A tale of
friendship, bravery, and why sometimes its good to be just a little
different, Rosie will hop her way right into your heart." - Tokyo

“Chin finds unique characters to expose children to hints of
Asian-American culture while creating engaging and readable
stories...These stories are cute and humorous while offering a
lesson learning adventure. I can't express how much I recommend
them as a classroom addition or for a home library...they would
also be a great gift for expectant parents or loved ones who know
their Chinese Zodiac sign.” - Teachers' Favorite Books for
Students
"The author/illustrator team of Oliver Chin and Justin Roth, who
have delighted us with their zodiac books and pirate stories, are
back with another story based on the animals of the Chinese zodiac.
The Year of the Rabbit is not first-baby-book reading, but it will
still look cute on the nursery bookshelf. Plus, the story about a
little boy and a bunny will still be a fun read when that baby is
old enough to be all ears at story time. Sorry, couldn't resist." -
Cool Mom Picks
"Move over Bugs Bunny. 2011 brings on the Year of the Rabbit, and
Oliver Chin adds another adventurous Tale from the Chinese Zodiac
to his collection, The Year of the Rabbit. This tale introduces
Rosie the Rabbit, who is born with super long ears, which brings
her both misfortune and fortune. As luck would have it, a boy named
Jai, whose grandmother would rather eat Rosie for dinner after
getting caught raiding her garden, saves Rosie. Later on, it's
Rosie who returns the favor to Jai in this fast-paced animated
story. It definitely has a comic book flavor to it....Chin
continues to creatively reveal the virtues of the animals of the
Chinese Zodiac through his series." - BookDads
