凱迪克得獎插畫家Ed Young用拼貼畫賦予傳統故事「瞎子摸象」新風貌,給予不同的視覺感受。六隻瞎老鼠單憑一角之感受,而妄下結論,只有最後一隻耐著性子、細心觀察的小老鼠,找到正確的答案。本故事灌輸小朋友「大膽假設、小心求證」的觀念,並且讓孩子學會閉上眼睛,用觸覺、用心去細細感受這個世界。
"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)
