Product Description
"It's a pillar," says one. "It's a fan," says another. One by one, the seven blind mice investigate the strange Something by the pond. And one by one, they come back with a different theory. It's only when the seventh mouse goes out-and explores the whole Something-that the mice see the whole truth. Based on a classic Indian tale, Ed Young's beautifully rendered version is a treasure to enjoy again and again.
"Immensely appealing."(The Horn Book, starred review)

 Good re-telling of the blind men and the elephant August 24, 2008
The artwork is done in stunning colors, silhouette style on black. Each of the mice (each a different color) takes a day during the week to examine the THING by their pond. As they describe it, we see a picture of what they thought they felt (a fan, a column, a snake), in their color.
The seventh finally understands that the THING is an elephant, by running all over the entire body instead of just a little bit.
I love the artwork. Gorgeous isn't too strong a word.
 Another great lesson for kids June 1, 2008
Aseops Fables arent the only books with lessons. I got this book for my two nephews and they loved it. It taught them to see all sides of a person/situation. IT IS GREAT!
7 Blind Mice April 5, 2008
Ed Young brings simple truths to preschoolders and young children as he retells a favorite story about the Blind Man and the Elephant using 7 blind mice to show that each point of view, just like all the colors of the rainbow, come together to make the "whole" of the elephant and also equals white light, which is what all colors of the rainbow equal. Many teaching moments such as primary colors equal white when combined and looking at things from many points of view brings about a different understanding, can be shared with children as they are able to understand. Enjoy the simple story or the depths of the wonderful ideals illustrated simply and beautifully.
Excellent book for young children February 13, 2008
This is a beautiful book. I bought it for my children, who enjoyed it immensely. I also used it in a classroom of first graders. They were delighted with the book, and we all had fun with the illustrations and the story. I think it is a wonderful book, with beautiful illustrations and a great story.
Perfect! October 1, 2007
This book is great for both of my kids and also as an introduction to mothers in Bible Study. I love it.
