Mice

was most intriguing, as this group of seven mice run into something that is unknown to them. So in order tot ry and figure out what this 'something ' is, each day a different colored mouse ran out and did an inspection of what they found. Then they reported back what they found for the others to hear. The next day a different colored mouse ran out to find something different and would return to share his findings.

The setting was a guess to somewhere in Africa, as on each page a different body part of an elephant was seen.

The theme was shown on the last page of the book, “Knowing inn part may make a fine tale, but wisdom comes from seeing the whole” (Young 40-41). This is a direct reference to the mice as they each discover a part of the elephant little by little until the final mouse makes a guess about what the animal is. It also teaches children that sometimes you have to see a while picture, or understand a whole situation, before you make any decisions. Knowing each side of a story is better than only knowing a single side of one. The mice were in the colors, white, blue, orange,…
