Discover the heartwarming story of Frederick, a field mouse who, unlike his companions, does not gather provisions for the winter. Instead, Frederick stores in his memory the colors, sunbeams, and words that will warm the hearts of his friends during the cold days. This tale by Leo Lionni, awarded the Caldecott Honor, is an ode to the importance of art and poetry, and how they nurture the spirit in times of need. Ideal for children who are beginning to read independently, 'Frederick' is a valuable addition to the 'Step into Reading' collection.
