“2010 is the year of the tiger, and Immedium has the perfect
children’s book to celebrate it...I love the artwork; Teddy the
tiger is just adorable...Older kids will appreciate the story,
too.” – Supah Cute
“The Year of the Tiger is a story about friendship and how children
can help bridge the divide. The book is filled with bright,
colorful illustrations chock-full of animals…” – Honeysmoke
“I enjoyed how the story introduces the reader to the Chinese
Zodiac and the characteristics of the Tiger. The illustrations by
Justin Roth truly bring life to the characters. My kids really
enjoyed this story.” - Asian Mommy
“Chin finds unique characters to expose children to hints of
Asian-American culture while creating engaging and readable
stories.…These stories are cute and humorous while offering a
lesson learning adventure. I can't express how much I recommend
them as a classroom addition or for a home library...they would
also be a great gift for expectant parents or loved ones who know
their Chinese Zodiac sign.” - Teachers' Favorite Books for
Students
“This bright, playful story makes the ancient tradition of the
Chinese zodiac accessible to and fun for contemporary children,
whatever their cultural background. Justin Roth’s illustrations
reflect his roots as an animator: the cartoon-like characters are
big on emotion with exaggeratedly expressive faces... All in all,
The Year of the Tiger is a great way for young readers to welcome
in the lunar New Year!” - Paper Tigers
“I was first introduced to your books when I was working with
Kidspace Museum in Pasadena, and fell in love with them. Not only
as an auntie to my nephew, but as an adult myself! When I came to
The Huntington, you can imagine my happiness to know that you
annually contribute to our Chinese New Year family festival. I look
forward to your books each year and can’t wait for the fun
adventures The Year of the Tiger will take us to!”
- Julianne Johnston, Huntington Library, San Marino, CA
“Excellently written and containing charming and playful
illustrations, the book is an excellent introduction to the ancient
tradition of Chinese New Year in a contemporary fashion.” - Nancy
