Seven Blind Mice

About this book

A CALDECOTT HONOR BOOK“Brilliantly elegant in design and artwork, this perfect picture book retells an old fable, while subtly conveying the concepts of color, numbers, and days of the week.”—School Library Journal"It's a snake," says Green Mouse."It's a fan!" cries Orange Mouse."It's a spear," proclaims Yellow Mouse.One by one, the six 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 complete Something—that the mice see the whole truth. A lesson in colors, numbers, the days of the week and most important, knowledge, this exquisitely illustrated book has stood the test of time and continues to entertain and teach. Based on a classic Indian tale, Ed Young's beautifully rendered version is a treasure to enjoy again and again.
