A Day at the Lake (Take Along Guides)
by Stephanie Wallingford and Dawn Rynders
Three siblings spend a twinkly, thumpity, flippity, ziggity, dreamily day at the lake.
"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)
