"It's a pillar," says one. "It's a fan," says another. One by one, the seven blind mice investigate the strange Something by the pond. And one by one, they come back with a different theory. It's only when the seventh mouse goes out-and explores the whole Something-that the mice see the whole truth. Based on a classic Indian tale, Ed Young's beautifully rendered version is a treasure to enjoy again and again.
凯迪克获奖绘本，英文版的“盲人摸象”。
《七只瞎老鼠》的故事改编自“盲人摸象”，华裔作家杨志成把这个东方古老的民间故事用英文和他自己的绘画语言，重新加以诠释，获得了凯迪克大奖。这位作家还有一部获得凯迪克肯定的作品，是改编自中国几乎家喻户晓的民间故事，就是 “Lon Po Po: A Red-Riding Hood Story from China（狼外婆）”。这是一个耳熟能详的故事，却又是一本清新脱俗的绘本，用拼贴技巧赋予传统故事“盲人摸象”新的视觉感受。
