Born with very long ears, Rosie also has great
sense for adventure. She wants new sights to see and plants to taste. After

the boy Jai. As other animals learn that she is an unusual bunny, will Rosie
ever find that her ears come in handy? Enjoy this hare-raising tale!

Illustrating expressive characters and vibrant
action, artist Justin Roth creates an inviting new world for readers to
explore. Tales from the Chinese Zodiac is a popular annual

Chinese New Year.

Rosie's high hops to find her true talents will delight children and

"To learn the characteristics of this year's star
animal, check out The
Year of the Rabbit: Tales From the Chinese Zodiac
... The latest in [the] zodiac series
centers on the curious rabbit Rosie. She likes to eat new things and meet new
people, so she ventures into a vegetable garden and gets caught by a boy named
Jai and his Po-Po (grandma). Boy and bunny get into some scrapes but become
fast friends."
