It’s almost time for the party! One-by-one all the animals of the zodiac go up the hill, each one carrying an ingredient. Horse trots up the hill with a big wok. Goat strolls up the hill with wild onions.

Praise for Dragon Noodle Party

"Cute and delightful. . . ."—Kirkus Reviews "Simple text from Compestine reliably describes how each animal makes the journey ('Rooster strutted,' 'Dragon flew'), and Pang dedicates a festive full-spread landscape to each animal's trek."—Publishers Weekly "This playful take on a child-friendly topic will resonate with kids ­familiar with Chinese customs and will inform and delight others. A ­worthy addition to multicultural resources that will shine during Chinese New Year and throughout all the seasons."—School Library Journal
