The other mice criticize him for being lazy, but Frederick insists that what he's doing is important : he's collecting words and colors.Once the winter finally settles in, the food Frederick's family gathered sustains them for a while, but soon the food runs out and it is Frederick's vivid memories of the colors of spring, as well as his poems and stories, that take the other mice's minds off their troubles and get them through the winter. While the other field mice are preparing for the coming winter and gather grains, nuts, wheat and berries, Frederick sits around observing. After just one reading, we all fell in love with this sweet little field mouse, whose creativity and poetry help his friends through the rough winter.įrederick is poetic and imaginative little mouse. Two months ago, I came across " Frederick", a book written and illustrated by Leo Lionni.
