Welcome to Litsy!

“And as Frederick spoke of the sun the four mice began to feel warmer.
Was it Frederick‘s voice?
Was it magic?”

I enjoyed reading this book. I believe that I can use this book to talk about the classroom community. I can explain to my students that we all bring our own special talents and we get to shine at our own times.

“Frederick” is a Caldecott Award Honor Book. This book is a tall tale where the characters are made up of animals. Each mouse has a task to gather food and other necessities for winter hibernation. However, Fredrick claims his job is to absorb the sun and colors of the summer time. The moral that can be learned from this story is that everyone has special talents in their own way.

“Then they remembered what Frederick had said about sun rays and colors and words. 'What about your supplies, Frederick?' they asked“.

I enjoyed reading this story because the fifth mouse is understood but he is valuable in a different way than the other mice. I think students would be able to relate to this story, this would be a great way for students to point out their strengths.

Frederick won a Caldecott Honor in 1968. This book is about a family of five field mice who are preparing for winter. One of the mice have an unconventional way of preparing, the other mice do not seem to understand what the fifth mouse is doing until winter arrives. The illustrations in the book are a simple collage style that gives the mice life.

My best friend sent me this book because she finds it "inspiring during these thin times." ? It's a lovely story about needing to gather more than just food to survive the winter. But it also reminds us about how the seasons are a cycle. I think it's a perfect & hopeful story for the pandemic. ❤

How did I never encounter this as a child?! What a beautiful book with a beautiful message: every person has something special to contribute and you can solve problems in unique ways depending on your unique strengths. I love this!

The other mice learn to value Frederick‘s tho it differs from the kind of work they do gathering food for winter. When they are stuck in the winter gloom Frederick‘s gift of poetry and his ability to evoke the colors of spring for the other mice is a valuable contribution like the physical sustenance. Sweet, simple drawings. #bbrc #picturebooksatoz #letterF

“Aren‘t we lucky the seasons are four? Think of it one less, or one more?”

This story is cute because it rhymes and it makes children think about all the seasons and how they happen.

Frederick is a Caldecott winning book written by Leo Lionni. This story is about a little mouse named Frederick with his other friends. This story gives children insight on animals during wintertime.

this sweet story about a field mouse who stores up his vivid memories of summer to warm his extended family come winter is a reminder of the importance of embracing your gifts.

“Fredrick why don‘t you work? They asked “I do work,” said Fredrick “I gather sun rays for the cold dark winter days”

This shows that there is more to life Han the basics of food.

Frederick by Leo Lionni is a Caldecott winning book that was published in 1987. This book is about a mouse named Fredrick who wants to be a poet and is trying to help prepare his family for the cold winter. Fredrick memorizes the best of the summer when the cold gray winter starts. The children will appreciate what Fredrick teaches his family in this book.

Meh. Not our fav.

1. Tagged book, I don‘t know why this book stands out so much in my memory. I don‘t know what happened to the book I had when I was little which was my moms when she was younger but I bought a copy after my oldest was born.
2. Ok after looking at a long list it would have to be Raiders if the Lost Ark
3. All American Girl makes me think of my daughter, Shut Up and Dance for my son because he randomly sings it!

Childhood books #24in48 challenge
My actual childhood copies are at my parents' house, but these are a few things I have at my house related to my favorite children's book author/illustrators! Stuffed Frederick (from the Leo Lionni book) is my number one mouse bro, and my mom and I have kept and collected every title and version of Leo Lionni and Eric Carle titles we can find. @24in48

This Caldecott award winning (1937) F book “Frederick” is great for SR. This story has a theme of spirit and how simple things can help you survive in hard situations. This story is great for students to analyze the main character while being creative! http://users.manchester.edu/student/jnhamm/Profweb/My_Choice_Trade_Books[1].pdf

Frederick by Leo Lionni is a great book to GR! It won‘t the Caldecott Honor Award and it is such a wonderful TL book. The story is about how the mice are all preparing for winter, but Frederick was not helping. However, his stories are what lifts the spirits of everyone during the winter. The UDL that I think is best for the book is 6.1 because their end goal is to make it through the winter and the listed spirits and happiness they received from

This traditional literature, Frederick by Leo Lionni, won the Caldecott Honor award and it would be a simple book to GR. This book is about Frederick and his family getting ready to prepare themselves for the winter. But Frederick collects something different such as, the sun, colors of the rainbow and words. When the family didn‘t have anything to share or to say, Frederick shares the words and things he collected to lift their spirits.

Frederick by Leo Lionni is a (F) (Caldecott Honor) book about group of field mice who are getting ready for winter. Everyone is working hard collecting food and preparing, but Frederick seems to be in his own little world, not at all concerned with the work to be done. This book would be perfect for a(DR) or readers theatre. UDL strategy 5.3 is a match for this plan because performance and retreading help build fluency!

I read this animal F book as a brain break from studying, and it conveys a deep message that even younger kids could understand. The book follows a short story of five mice who are preparing for winter. While the four mice work to supply food, the fifth one prepares for the cold months. in a way that no one expected. It carries the message that it takes more than food and shelter to survive: it takes a creative spirit too! #UCFLAE3414SP18

1. Anything by Leo Lionni, I have several of the Kohl‘s plushies of his characters.
2. My stuffed Panda who still wears one of the cloth diapers my grandma made for my critters, he might have come to college with me...and fit right in w/my roommate‘s giant cow.
3. Probably pancakes, or crab rangoons b/c we just stood around the stove & ate them as they got done frying.
4. Either, as long as it has a 3:1 frosting:baked good ratio. 😬

Frederick‘s brothers assume Frederick is lazy and does not want to help, but Frederick is gathering other items for the winter. #ucflae3414

This TL book is such a cute heartwarming book about a mouse who feels their is more to life than doing chores for the upcoming winter with his mouse friends and to be thought as lazy throughout the book. But to his mouse friends surprise he tells them of the colors of the warm sun to help warm them and gifts them many words so they would never run out of things to say during the harsh winter. It is a cute twist at the end. #UCFLAE3414su17
