You know, for kids

I came across a great children's book I thought I'd share while I finish what I'm reading.

Seven Blind Mice is the retelling of a simple allegorical tale. There are many versions of the story stemming from the original which involved 6 men in the dark with an elephant, each believing they've stumbled upon something different (come on guys, use your nose).

Young makes it kid friendly with colorful mice, but I think the message may be more useful in the adult world. As Young puts it: "The mouse moral: Knowing in part may make a fine tale, but wisdom comes from knowing the whole."

The collage work is very nice, and reminds me of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. This book is simple and beautiful.
