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.

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.
