這個故事有點類似中國民間故事的「瞎子摸象」，書中七隻不同顏色的盲眼小老鼠一一的去摸在池塘邊的新發現，結果每個回來都說是不一樣的東西，究竟這是個什麼怪東西呢？就正如同「瞎子摸象」所告訴我們的，不可以偏概全。適合5歲以上兒童閱讀。“It’s a snake,” says Green Mouse. “It’s a fan!” cries Orange Mouse. “ It’s a spear,” proclaims Yellow Mouse. One by one, six different-colored blind mice investigate the strange something by the pond. And one by one, they come back with a different throry. It’s only when the seventh mouse goes out---and explores the complete something---that the mice see the whole truth. |
