Description   The rat is the first in the Chinese zodiac of a dozen animals that the years are named for. How did the little Rat beat out the Dragon, the Tiger, the horse and all the other 11 animals. Ed Young, born and raised in China shows how in his story. The Jade Emperor, ruler of the heavens, proposes a race. The prize: a year named for each of 12 finalists. Cat and rat, inseparable friends, decide to collaborate, but crafty rat outsmarts cat, leaving the hapless feline out of the running. Thus arose the order of the zodiac cycle and an ancient hatred. Young's telling of the tale does not use a lot of text, but the art is very dark (lot's of black) and there is a lot of detail in it.
