About the Book
"While other mice are gathering food for the winter, Frederick seems to daydream the summer away. When dreary weather comes, it is Frederick the poet-mouse who warms his friends and cheers them with his words".--Wilson Library Bulletin. Illustrated.Book Synopsis
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 CarleReview Quotes

About the Author
Leo Lionni, an internationally known designer, illustrator, and graphic artist, was born in Holland and lived in Italy until he came to the United States in 1939. He was the recipient of the 1984 American Institute of Graphic Arts Gold Medal and was honored posthumously in 2007 with the Society of Illustrators' Lifetime Achievement Award. His picture books are distinguished by their enduring moral themes, graphic simplicity and brilliant use of collage, and include four Caldecott Honor Books: Inch by Inch, Frederick, Swimmy, and Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse. Hailed as "a master of the simple fable" by the Chicago Tribune, he died in 1999 at the age of 89.Dimensions (Overall): 11.07 Inches (H) x 9.22 Inches (W) x .35 Inches (D)

Frederick
This is a timeless classic about being unique and the benefits of that to yourself & others, even though in the beginning, they might not understand. This was and still is one of my favorite books when I was a child . The colorful and calming illustrations make it even more endearing. 🥰 It also is a Caldecott honor book, which is no surprise to me. I haven’t bought it yet, and I don’t know what happened to mine when I was a kid, but I want to buy a brand new one with a intact cover for my granddaughters. The only thing is it doesn’t come in a hard book or more durable pages . My granddaughters are almost 5 years old and one year-old, with a new baby on the way, although I think this would be fine for my almost 5-year-old granddaughter. I don’t think it will last with the younger ones. I’m considering buying it and keeping it my house for when they come over and I will read it to them then put it away safely. 😊
