Cat and Rat: The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac

Caldecott Medal-winning author and illustrator Ed Young brings an ancient Chinese folktale to life in the children's picture book *Cat and Rat***.**

To select the animals of the zodiac, the Jade Emperor has called for a race between all the animals with the first twelve winners honored by having years named after them. Cat and Rat were once the best of friends--until this contest made them the worst of enemies.
