By A Customer
This review is from: The Blind Men and the Elephant (Hello Reader!, Level 3, Grades 1&2) (Paperback)
The Blind Men and The Elephant is a wonderfully written book. It tells the tail of six blind men who travel to their prince's palace in order to meet his new elephant. The students may ask, how can blind men meet an elephant? In this well written story, each blind man touches only part of the elephant. They go on to describe what the elephant feels like. For example: one blind men says "the elephant feels like a wall", another blind man describes the elephant as "the elephant feels like a snake". This is a great book for teaching the sense of touch to students grades K-3.

This review is from: The Blind Men and the Elephant (Hello Reader!, Level 3, Grades 1&2) (Paperback)
Everybody has an opinion and in today's world they get shared more often and remain viable for longer thanks to the internet and other media. This fable is an important reminder to take perspective and experience into account and then to make decisions based on those that have the best perspective and I daresay the best opinion.

Empathy Lesson,

This review is from: The Blind Men and the Elephant (Hello Reader!, Level 3, Grades 1&2) (Paperback)
This classic parable can lead to interesting discussions about empathy and perspective for students of all ages. Blind or myopic, we all can struggle with accepting different perspectives; often times we cling to our version rejecting all others. I use this (along with other children's picture books - Zoom! by Banyai) to challenge college-bound high school students with the open ended question, "So What?"
