The Year of the Horse
By Oliver Chin,
illustrated by Jennifer Wood
"The bright illustrations reflect the illustrator Jennifer Wood's animation background and highlight the Chinese landscape, wildlife and architecture...The Year of the Horse is a fun book with a beautiful message of friendship, love and trust. The book is not only well-written, its excellent illustrations infuse a great deal of appeal and charm."

"Adapted from an episode of the Justin Time PBS Sprout and NBC Kids animated TV series, this picture book features Justin and his sidekick Squidgy...This is a pleasant story with entertaining illustrations that capture the animated style and the sense of India."
