The Mountain by Rebecca Gugger and Simon Rothlisberger - ESSENTIAL

The Mountain by Rebecca Gugger, illustrated by Simon Rothlisberger
. PICTURE BOOK. North South, 2021. $18. 9780735844575

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ESSENTIAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

A wide variety of creatures argue about the nature of a mountain, until a bird comes along and gives them the benefit of a wider perspective.

A great riff on The Blind Men and the Elephant. A nice change from the traditional story. Kids will laugh at the variety of points of view – not just a bear, but an octopus and an ant, among others. The beautiful end papers are a bonus!
