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
