EducatingParents.org rating: Approved CCBC says "An adaptation of the Indian Fable "The Blind Men and the Elephant" cleverly uses paper collage set on a black background." In this charming and colorful story the seven colorful blind mice each take a turn trying to identify and guess what they are feeling, each on a different day of the week. It's only after the seventh mouse thoroughly explores the shape and puts the others' theories together do they finally 'see' the truth. They all explore together and agree that the object is an elephant. This appealing tale ends with a "Mouse Moral: Knowing in part may make a fine tale, but wisdom comes from seeing the whole." no reviews | add a review
