"The latest two offerings in Oliver Chin's series of Tales from the
Chinese Zodiac, this year's The Year of the Snake and last year's
The Year of the Dragon are welcome additions to this imaginative
menagerie of endearing characters, whose stories embody the chief
characteristics of each animal of the Chinese Zodiac in turn." -

“Illustrator Jennifer Wood makes sure to imbue every page with
energy in motion – ‘dazzling and colorful’ ... Part cultural
exploration, part goofy adventure, part morality tale, and just a
wee bit of sort-of-hidden snark for parents to giggle over, Chin’s
latest title is also an adorable reminder to get out in the world
and enjoy this “sensational Year of the Snake.” - BookDragon,
Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center
"In The Year of the Snake, Chin has managed to weave an adventurous
story of friendship and acceptance into an important cultural
lesson about the Chinese Zodiac... As a Teacher Librarian, I am
continually searching for books that have a positive message as
well as captivating illustrations, and The Year of the Snake is
just that! - Julie Griffin, Palo Alto Unified School District,
CA
"The symbolic nature of the snake being wise and intelligent and
good at making things turn out just the way it wants in business
and otherwise quietly shines through in this book in a friendly and
fun sort of way. There are subtle themes of looking past prejudice
to one’s true nature that you can point out if you wish–or just let
your kids enjoy the silly illustrations and tuck ‘em in." - I
