If you have young kids at home, you’ve probably been keeping them occupied by reading them lots of stories over the past few weeks. But when winter arrives, it’s Frederick who has a special surprise in store that helps them survive until spring dawns again. The other mice think he is lazy and daydreaming his days away. However, one field mouse, Frederick, doesn’t seem to be helping at all. It’s difficult to work, but as long as they all pull their weight they should be ready. It’s the simple tale of a family of field mice who work together all through summer and autumn getting ready for the long, cold winter. Generations of children have loved the picture book, Frederick since it was first published in 1967. Frederick the mouse doesnt scurry around preparing for winter like the other field mice. The Caldecott Award-winning picture book by Leo Lionni comes to brand new life as a clever and colorful virtual puppet show gently narrated by Michael Shannon, a founder of Chicago’s A Red Orchid Theatre and star of films like Shape of Water, Revolutionary Road, and Boardwalk Empire. Frederick marks our first, but not last, venture into releasing fresh online content for children and families via CCTv.
