"Perfect timing with the Lunar New Year." - Asian Art Museum, San Francisco

"The tale, along with the wonderfully animated pictures by Miah Alcorn, makes for a fun read for young children and their parents. With this book, you could definitely judge it by its cover." - Book Dads

Industry Reviews

"Tales from the Chinese Zodiac is a series of 12 books about these iconic calendar denizens, starting with The Year of the Dog... each book targets four- to eight-year-olds and stars a baby animal coming of age and learning how to personify the year it represents." - Kidscreen Magazine
"The book is brilliantly illustrated by Jeremiah Alcorn. In their journey together, Daniel discovers his true nature..." - Asian Week "A whimsical tale of confusion and adventure, as Lin and the puppy meet the other animals of the Chinese zodiac, some in their imagination, and some in real life... The cartoony and angular art style captures the eagerness of the young dog perfectly, in this upbeat astrological tale." - Midwest Book Review
"The Year of the Dog is a great one. Its tales of childhood friendships keeps you on edge as you wonder what's coming around the next corner. It teaches a lesson to respect your animals, as it nonchalantly teaches you to be yourself and to follow your instincts. This great tale of man's best friend is a must have for all young ones." - The Opinionated Parent
"Do you know anyone who is honest, loyal and faithful but completely stubborn? The Year of the Dog could explain it all. With Oliver Chin's warm-fuzzy writing and Jeremiah Alcorn's spunky illustrations, the Year of the Dog is cuter than ever." - Hyphen Magazine
