About This Book
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-- A real winner, on many levels. The first
impression is visual delight. Brilliant colors and varied textures of
paper collage are placed in striking contrast against velvety black
pages. Bold white lettering imposed on the dark background tells of
seven blind mice, seen in seven bright colors. Over the course of a week
each investigates, in turn, the strange ``Something'' it encounters. To
one it is a pillar, to another a snake, to another a cliff. Finally, on
the seventh day, the white mouse, running across the thing and
remembering what the others found, concludes that it is an elephant. The
tale ends with the moral that wisdom comes from seeing ``the whole.''
Adapting the old fable of the blind men and the elephant by weaving in
the days of the week, the mice, and the beautiful shapes of the things
they see, Young gives children a clever story, wise words, and a truly
exciting visual experience. -- Shirley Wilton
