Ed Young's Seven Blind Mice is a wonderful retelling of a classic Indian folk tale.by one of the great 20th century illustrators of children's books. I have read Seven Blind Mice with my own children, my kindergarten classes, and now my grandchildren. All love the stunning collage art work and the opportunity to piece together the clues that the individual mice collect while exploring the mysterious something. Children return to this book time and again because the art work and language are simply stunning and the message to consider the whole is timeless.
