Leo Lionni’s Caldecott Honor–winning story about a little mouse who gathers something unusual for the long winter is celebrating its fiftieth birthday!
Winter is coming, and all the mice are gathering food . . . except for Frederick. But when the days grow short and the snow begins to fall, it’s Frederick’s stories that warm the hearts and spirits of his fellow field mice. Winner of a 1967 Caldecott Honor, Frederick has been cherished by generations of readers.
“A splendid achievement.” —School Library Journal, starred review
“In Frederick, a mouse who is a poet from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail demonstrates that a seemingly purposeless life is indeed far from that—and that we need not live by bread alone!” —Eric Carle
Tonight we read both [b:A Color of His Own|225545|A Color of His Own|Leo Lionni|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320470909s/225545.jpg|460938] and [b:Frederick|864997|Frederick|Leo Lionni|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320435150s/864997.jpg|1920769] on my Kindle though the library READS system. These are great as Kindle picture books. The font in Frederick is a bit small but otherwise it works great. Id buy it for it a decent price. Glad we have a physical copy of Frederick andwe might look for one of A Color of His Own, but then there is always the library for that one.
