Frederick

Leo Lionni's Caldecott Honor-winning story is now available as a Step 3 Step into Reading book-perfect for children who are ready to read on their own. 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. Lionni's enduringly popular tale makes a winning addition to the Step into Reading line, letting young children enjoy this classic all by themselves.

LEO LIONNI wrote and illustrated more than 40 picture books, including four Caldecott Honor books; Inch by Inch, Swimmy, Frederick, and Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse. He died in 1999 at the age of 89.
