Why read it?
1 author picked Frederick as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Frederick is a classic that continues to speak to me. Frederick is a creative mouse who gathers beauty from the world—he’s a daydreamer and a poet. His talents aren’t appreciated by the other mice at first. By the end of the story, though, they realize that his talents are essential to their survival. I love how this book celebrates creativity and difference.
From Bethanie's list on seeing magic in the world.
