Overview

Se acerca el invierno y todos los ratones de campo, excepto Frederick, están muy ocupados recogiendo alimentos para los fríos meses que se avecinan.

Como siempre ha sido un soñador, Frederick prepara una sorpresa que calentará el corazón y alimentará el espíritu de sus amigos cuando más lo necesiten.

Frederick, the poet mouse, stores up something special for the long cold winter.
