I read it to my nieces and nephews as we explained to them Lunar New Year this year. They loved the story and the pictures. It was a fun way to teach them a bit about our culture and they loved getting to hear what zodiac they were born in. Fun story, and would make a great gift for any babies (or adults!) born in the year of the ox. We would love to buy the whole collection someday.

I give her a new book in the series each year that matches the zodiac for that upcoming year. Perfect as she's five years old and will grow into learning to read them. Her other grandparents can read it in Chinese since they have it in that language on the other side of the pages. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/11901008-the-year-of-the-ox-tales-from-the-chinese-zodiac](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/11901008-the-year-of-the-ox-tales-from-the-chinese-zodiac) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
