A challenge has been set! The zodiac race is on! Ollie the Ox is joining the race hoping to win, but he can't run very fast. How could he possibly win? How can he outrun all the faster animals?
It is not an easy journey as the race will lead him through tall mountains, a deep dark forest and towards the end, he will have to find a way to cross the freezing river.
Join Ollie's adventure to see how he overcomes his problems and accomplishes his dream, and what he learns along the way!
Little readers will find out about how Ollie the Ox claimed his Zodiac sign, and also learn the order in which all the zodiac animals were placed in the race.
W C Jefferson's charming rhymes and T F Wister's whimsical drawings bring to life a new version of an ancient tale of how the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac came to have a year named after them.
