Abstract

en_US I enjoy anything that Ed Young does. This large 10x 11 paperback book is no exception. Here he starts with an all-black background and then adds elements in cut-out paper and other materials. Seven differently-colored mice, marked as blind by their blank white eyes, find a strange Something by their pond. Each day one mouse goes to the something and brings back a report, and no one believes the reporter. Their reports are, respectively, that it is a pillar, snake, spear, cliff, fan, and rope. On Sunday, White Mouse goes to the pond. She runs up one side and down the other and then across the top from end to end. She repeats all the specific similarities but adds altogether the Something is . . . an elephant. The others try her method and concur. The Mouse Moral: Knowing in part may make a fine tale, but wisdom comes from seeing the whole. This book won a 1993 Caldecott Honor Award, as the back cover declares. The publication information also indicates a Scholastic first printing date of 1993, despite the copyright of 1992.
