For fans of This Is Not My Hat and We Don't Eat Our Classmates. Rat won the Great Race, which determined the order of the Chinese zodiac calendar.

And Cat has a special surprise for him. Richard Ho's sly and perfectly paced text unfolds an exciting animal adventure, full of nods to the traditional Great Race tale. And watch out for an unexpected, delicious twist when Cat doesn't find Rat's apology quite sincere! Jocelyn Li Langrand's joyful and expressive illustrations bring the journey to vibrant life, full of details that reward a closer look. Together thetext and art are an homage to the traditional Great Race tale and a funny, subversive update for today's young readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient Chinese zodiac's origin was still unknown to this day. Beside the emperor Jade legend for children, we do not know much about it. It was told that the Chinese zodiac was spread from China to other Asian countries, therefore many zodiac variations exist today. Was there any reason why the Rabbit sign was replaced by the Cat sign, the Pig became the Boar? the Sheep could be the Goat and vice versa? Why was the majestic Dragon belittled to the same level of all other earthly animals? Were these zodiac animals chosen randomly? Did their position in the zodiac have a meaning at all? And finally did the original inventor(s) of the Chinese zodiac ever intend to leave a coded message for his/their fellow humans? You will be surprised that the new evidence will show that they did. The message embedded in the ancient Chinese zodiac was so artfully scripted that no one could unmask it until this day. How could it be? the zodiac was so old and how could it be hidden for thousands of years? It turns out that it is a common phenomenon after all. The Egyptian hieroglyphs were finally decoded just a century ago when a French scholar named Jean-François Champollion discovered the Rosetta stone that contained three translations of a same text written in Egyptian hieroglyphs and deciphered it successfully. Of course the Chinese zodiac does not contain hundreds of scripted symbols but its twelve symbols remain elusive to this day. No one knows the true story, only a children oriented legend exists. As a matter of fact, for the Chinese zodiac, more than a puzzle, not only you will have to put all the pieces into their original places in order to see the actual image but you will have also to find the right filter in order to see the hidden the path of the inventor's thinking and this hidden path will lead you to the final place where the true message is revealed. When you can read the message then everything will become clear and the message will even surprise you more: it contains an amazingly the first declaration of freedom for mankind - an universal value that we all cherish today. Last but not least, the message will also reveal who were truly its inventors. All in all, this extraordinarily coded message is finally revealed for the first time. So how was it secretly embedded in the zodiac? The book will explain it all.All the Chinese ideograms of the zodiac signs, at first look, do not resemble anything, let alone the animals they stand for. Most Chinese scholars said that the ideograms represent the calendar hours, months and years therefore they did not have any etymological bearing with the animals themselves, but rather an astronomical meaning. Unfortunately the etymology for these ideograms do not reveal anything meaningful. Now if we take a deep look into the drawing of these ideograms, especially their equivalent in other ancient scripts of the Chinese writing system (Traditional, Bronze, Seal, Liushutong, Oracle bones) then compare them with the animals they represent, you will be surprised that they actually mean something totally relevant. Finally you will see the mystery behind the drawing of these ideograms. Moreover they will you what original animals they stood for.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
