Bookroo's summary

Seven blind mice encounter a mysterious object by the pond. Each mouse returns with a different theory, but only the seventh mouse discovers the whole truth. What will they find?

From the publisher

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. Immensely appealing.(The Horn Book, starred review)
