Synopsis: While other mice are gathering food for the winter, Frederick seems to daydream the summer away. When dreary winter comes, it is Frederick the poet-mouse who warms his friends and cheers them with his words.

Craft ideas:

• Make the paper mouse shown at the end of the book, and act out the story.
• Remember your favorite day? What emotions were you feeling? Make a hat of your feelings on that day.
