Description
The second story of the Zodiac Tales, The Tale of Santiago, The Strong Bull, takes its readers on a new world adventure—this time to the sun-soaked countryside of Spain. Santiago, the country’s most prized bull, wants to go on a treasure hunt, but everyone tells him he’s going on a wild goose chase.
But, true to his star sign, the mighty Taurus, Santiago likes to do things his own way! Disciplined in his pursuit, he is early to bed and early to rise, day in, day out, leaving no stone unturned until the mysterious treasure is his.
Will he prove everyone wrong and return triumphant from his pursuits?

Greek mythology! The zodiac in astronomy! Perseverance and bullish determination! Sounded good to me, and it is! Santiago is a young bull who lives in Spain. He hears about a treasure kept in a guarded cave and determines to make himself even stronger and search every cave until he finds the very one. His very determination to follow through on his plan is shown as a characteristic of his belonging to the sign of Taurus the Bull in the zodiac of mythology and the stars of the night sky. Excellent!
The colorfully simple illustrations are contributed by graphic artist Mousam Banerjee.
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Independent Publisher/IBPA via NetGalley. Thank you!

This is a really neat picture book about the zodiac sign Taurus, and is the second instalment of the Zodiac Tales series. It tells the story of a stubborn bull named Santiago who works hard and once he sets his mind to something he is very determined to make it happen, which are personality traits attributed to Tauruses. The story brings in some elements of greek mythology as well as the ideas related to the zodiacs while telling a fun story for kids about a ram who never gives up. As a grade 3 teacher (and a lover of astrology) I would definitely choose this book for my classroom library. It is a fun story that can also teach about a belief system and Greek culture and history. I would recommend this book to teachers and families of children in the 5-10 age range. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book! I also look forward to checking out the future books in this series soon!

The Tale of Santiago the Strong Bull is a book about the zodiac sign Taurus. It is described through the story of Santiago, a stubborn bull in Spain, who goes on an adventure to find lost treasure. The illustrations were very well done, and I loved all the different steps Santiago had to take to find the gold. I liked the riddle as well. A very cool look for your favorite Taurus!

A clever way of showing the basic characteristics of someone who's zodiac sign is Taurus. The story is meant well and depicts exactly the characteristics described towards the end of the storybook.
The illustrations are amazing and so well done.
Love the cover. Love the facial expressions of the character. Indeed felt like watching a short animation!
Thank you, authors, for the advance review copy.
