Summary and How I would use it in the classroom.
This book is like an old Indian Fable retold and Illustrated by Ed Young. These seven mice discovers that their is something in their pond and set out to figure out what this something. The first mouse says that it was a pillar in the pond, the second mouse said it was a snake, the third mouse said it was spear, the fourth mouse said it was a cliff, the fifth mouse said it was a fan, and the sixth mouth said it was a rope. On the seventh day the last mouse, the white mouse, put it all together on the last day. He went back and forth, side to side, and found out that the something was an elephant.
This book would be great to use in Kindergarten and first grade classroom. Every time a mouse goes to find out what the something is it on a particular day and a different color mouse. It would be a great idea for students to make something and place it in a box and have students touch the creation and write a sentence for each guess. Students could also write about time they had to work with someone else to find a solution to a problem.
