According to a Chinese myth, four animals helped create the universe. This ancient story joins nine other descriptions of Chinese life and culture—from the five tones of the Chinese musical scale to the seven zones of vegetation found in China. Jim Haskins’s simple text and Dennis Hockerman’s stunning illustrations give children an opportunity to get to know their neighbors across the Pacific.
