Why Cats Chase Mice

Why Cats Chase Mice: A Story of the Twelve Zodiac Signs

Written and illustrated by Mina Harada Eimon.

Retold as a Japanese version of the Asian folktale explaining the origins of the animals chosen for the zodiac, this new edition includes a glossary of Japanese animal names in both English and hiragana (with a pronunciation guide). Learn the order of the animal years and why they came to be, and why the cat didn’t make the cut!
