This product came in perfect condition. I actually ordered another one so that I could have it at home because I gave it as a gift Leon. Leoni is an amazing writer. Well worth the purchase.

Gift for a Baby Shower
Great book, love the story. Only taking 1 star off because there was a strange finger print/smudge on the dust cover like someone had been eating while they were packing the book and didn’t wipe their hands before touching the book.

Great book for the cerebral minds of ALL AGES
Many children and adults are deep thinkers and dreamers like this little field mouse. They may not see their value . Fredrick is one of those thinkers and dreamers. BUT He has a specific set of skills that most mice don’t and he uses them to sustain his fellow wall dwellers when things get tough. Fredrick’s ability to observe, gather, analyze, and then paint stunning pictures with only his words ARE his contribution to his society. His mind sustains them….. just as important and as necessary as gathering seeds.

It’s a really nice story about how we all have different ways of …
A new acquaintance recently introduced me to “Frederick,” a charming, very short children’s picture book about a family of field mice who are preparing for the winter. One of them, a young mouse named Frederick, does not do much work and appears to be shirking his responsibilities. Frederick explains to his skeptical family that he IS working by quietly gathering imaginary sun rays for the cold winter days to come.The book ends with the mice experiencing a tough winter, and then being inspired to carry on by a poem Frederick has created that grew out of his meditations when his family members thought he was being lazy. It’s a really nice story about how we all have different ways of making contributions, and that important work is not always readily visible, especially creative endeavors.The book also has some exercises for children, including one that guides a participant into writing a poem. If you read this story to a child and then make a poem together, it’ll make a sweet project! A few of the words in the story are a bit advanced for young children, which offers a nice vocabulary building opportunity and does not detract from the story.What I like best about “Frederick” is that it acknowledges that we humans are not all the same, and that we need our different talents and personalities to “make it through the winter.” It might be especially nice to share with that child in your life who “marches to the beat of a different drummer.”

Fantastic story for children. Good way to teach inclusion and also how important it is to use the gifts you have to benefit others as well as yourself. Suitable for all ages. Lovely illustrations.

I deeply love this book. Many many years after reading this in childhood, I still want to be the mouse who basks in the sun.

La più bella favola che io conosca ; un’ ode alla potenza dello Spirito umano. Semplice ma feroce contro l’ efficentismo, il possesso e, dico io, contro gli adoratori dell’ intelligenza artificiale.
