Seven various colored blind mice try to examine an elephant - By: Kurt A. Johnson, 07 Feb 2003
This book retells the ancient Indian tale of seven blind men who try to decide what an elephant is like based on examining one part of it. In this book, it is seven blind mice that examine the elephant; six of them draw incorrect conclusions based on one feel, whereas the seventh mouse takes it's time, & learns the truth about the elephant. I was particularly pleased with the moral of this story.

The mice are each of a different color & examine the elephant on a different day, which helps expose children to the concepts of color & days of the week. The artwork is humorous which helps with children too young to read, & the text is simple enough for young readers. For reference purposes, my own 1st grader had no problem reading this book.
