Funny animals play a party game that's both silly and thought-provoking. This Level B book is perfect for new readers!
It is a tree. It is a wall. It is a snake. It is a fan.
A zebra, a giraffe, a turtle, and other animals play a party game. Blindfolded, they guess what's in the room by feel alone. Could it be a wall? A rope? A fan? No. It's an elephant!
This very easy-to-read story, based upon the ancient Indian parable about the blind men and the elephant, teaches point-of-view, and reinforces the simple vocabulary with bright illustrations of the different objects the animals guess. Perfect for new readers to practice on their own!
This book has been officially leveled by using the F&P Text Level Gradient(TM) Leveling System.
