Zodiac animals run wild in this laugh-out-loud Lunar New Year story that combines holiday traditions with Jumanji-style fun!
Tai receives a special red envelope for Lunar New Year. But that's still an entire day away, and he can't wait to see what's inside! Hoping for chocolate, he instead finds a set of grow-in-water Chinese zodiac animals that don't just grow bigger, they come to life—AND they're life-size! Chaos ensues as monkeys, tigers, goats, roosters, horses, and others play in the house and make a mess while Mama's out doing yard chores! Now it's up to Tai and the animals to clean up and fix everything before the celebration.
