All the mice work hard to gather food for winter-except Frederick. The mice don't like that too much. But when winter comes, the mice find Frederick has something different, and special, to share.

Ages 4-6 or so.

"The fable of Frederick, who is the dreamer among the little field mice, suggests the psychological thruth that when we are in dire need, it is our dreams of happier times which alone can sustain us...A story about the glory of the human spirit" - Bruno Bettelheim
A Caldecott Honor Book and an ALA Notable Children's Book.

A lovely little tale about a dreamer, and the contribution imagination makes in challenging times. As always, Lionni's paper collage illustrations are beyond perfect.
