Seven Blind Mice
Seven Blind Mice | Ed Young
32 posts | 17 read | 1 to read
"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)

I would use this story in an art class to show the impact of color in a story.

Seven Blind Mice, by Ed. Young is a wonderful story that captivates negative space and color. There are many colors and shades within the book that create a fun and exciting environment.

This book has a good source of light and dark. Having each page have a black background to emphasize the characters. This has a good theme about identifying an object as a whole instead of parts

The Seven Blind Mice by ED Young, 1993, was a thought this was a beautiful story with a magical take on color that could be read to children.It is a very friendly and inviting story that was comparable too the old tale of the three blind mice. The colors of the rainbow draw the reader in!

This book is a fable for many reasons. It is based on the Indian fable of the blind men and an elephant. It has personification where the mice behave like humans. The number seven is also very common in fables and it stands for each day of the week in this story. Also it has a moral that you cant just look at parts, you cant see until you see the whole picture.

The seven blind mice notice something new comes to their pond. Each day of the week each mouse goes and says its something different. The last mouse goes and finds out it is something that entails what each mouse said.

This book was a great read. The seven blind mice work together to identify an object. The illustrations are simple but describe what each mouse is seeing.

This Children‘s award winning book is a fun story for kids with a great lesson. The illustrations are fun and colorful. This book showed that everyone has their own perspective but that you don‘t really understand until you it all.

This F book is great for S and the illustrations are simple yet effective. The book is not text heave so it would be great for ELLs to read and listen to. At the same time, it still provide a powerful example of why it is important to know the complete story. #UCFSU19

This is a really beautiful TL picture book. Ed Young has a very unique and colorful way of illustrating his work, and it‘s very captivating. This book tells the story of seven blind mice who find an unfamiliar thing at the pond that they frequent. The mice try to figure out what it is by climbing over bits and pieces of it one by one, but it‘s not until their sibling climbs the entire thing that they figure out what it is.

juliek1 This book is a Caldecott Honor winner, as well as winner of the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Picture Book.

This is a really great story for RA, CR, GR, ST, and AS.

The attached lesson plan is great specifically for ESOL students, although it can be applied to all: http://newsmanager.commpartners.com/tesolc/downloads/lesson%20plans/03_2013_TC%2...

This lesson applies UDL 1.1 Offer ways of customizing the display of information in that in involves not only the book itself, but cutouts of the characteristics of the thing the mice are trying to figure out, as well as 5.3 Build fluencies with graduated levels of support for practice and performance, as you are helping build confidence in the as they move along through the lesson from mouse #1 to mouse #7, guessing what the thing might be. ESOL strat 30. Encourage the use of diagrams and drawings as aids to identify concepts and seeing relationships is used as well, with the pillar, snake, fan, etc., until the entire “thing” is assembled. #ucflae3413f17

CaseyL Your storytelling of this book was so fun and interactive! I would love to use this book to tell the story to my future students some day. It‘s also really cool that this book was recognized for its illustrations because you could share it as you do the storytelling! 7y
DrSpalding This is an excellent post Julie! You are right that this traditional literature piece could be used in a variety of ways. Your storytelling was an excellent example! 7y
