Mimi and Shu in I'll Race You!

40 pp. | Atheneum | December, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4814-2330-4 $17.99 | Ebook ISBN 978-1-4814-2331-1
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Melissa van der Paardt. Loosely based on a traditional Chinese tale, this story erases any cultural authenticity. Mouse Shu trains hard to win the Jade Emperor's race for inclusion in the zodiac; his best friend, Mimi the cat, can only think of the cupcake prizes. The cartoonlike digital illustrations have some amusing touches. The back endpapers feature a chart of the zodiac animals, their traits, and their years.
