Summary: The fable of the old blind men is remixed with learning concepts--days of the week, colors, and ordinal numbers--to advise young readers to always get the whole story before making a judgment.
Memorable Quote: "Knowing in part may make a fine tale, but wisdom comes from seeing the whole."
Artistic Example: Bold, vivid colors are contrasted against a black background.
Teaching Idea: The mice in this story make educated guesses about what the "strange Something" might be. Use this story to teach children how to form a hypothesis based on evidence.
