Join Maxi's adventure as he learns about friendship, forgiveness, and the importance of staying focused.

Little readers will find out about how Maxi the Monkey wins his place in the zodiac, and also learn the order in which all the zodiac animals were placed in the race.

W C Jefferson's charming rhymes and T F Wister's whimsical drawings bring to life a new version of an ancient tale of how the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac came to have a year named after them.
