Seven Blind Mice (Reading Railroad) Paperback – Picture Book, June 10, 2002

Me encanta este libro de hecho pedí 2 porque mi hijo tiene q hacer un trabajo para la escuela gracias lo recomiendo

While teaching First grade, I read this book multiple times through the year (not only because the children LOVED it). It introduces color words, days of the week, ordinal numbers on a very basic level. But more importantly it teaches a lesson of individual perception. We would discuss what each how each of the mice discovered about the "strange Something" and why they each thought it was something different. When squabbles occurred on the playground, I would reference the seven mice and ask each child what he saw/thought/felt.I recently bought 9 copies of this book to give to the Adult members of our Faith Sharing Group, because we often find ourselves at different points in our faith journey and often acknowledge that we each "know God" from our own experiences and perspective. Excellent Book!

This story was shown to me back in 1994. As a child of 6 years old I loved the art style. I had all but forgotten about this book I owned as a child until a very similar looking painting was shown to me in my religion class. I immanently recognized the art style with the colored people and the elephant as a book I had read as a small child (replaced with blind mice). I just ordered it for my daughter of age 7 to read and she was able to read just about every word. I loved being able to explain the idea of looking at the bigger picture with mice and elephants as an example. I feel like I was really able to teach her a life lesson with this book.

This book is ever-relevant but particularly so currently when people are quick to dismiss those they disagree with.

This gem of a story is needed in this age of so much fake news. It teaches the importance of seeing the whole picture, and not to make false assumptions based on the parts. It is appropriate for all ages.

This is a wonderful children's book about seven blind mice and how they each perceive a questionable object in their presence. It is a great book about how we perceive things differently, especially when some have handicaps, in this case, blindness. This book was recommended by one of my wonderful friends, a former kindergarten teacher.

This book can be read to teach many lessons at all ages! Love the colors! Hoping it will last me forever!

great book
