Here in one collection are four classics by Leo Lionni: Frederick, Swimmy, Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse, and Fish Is Fish. While enjoying Lionni's distinctive paper collage illustrations, readers 4 to 7 can meet Frederick, the poet field mouse whose happy memories help his family endure the darkest days of winter; Swimmy, the imaginative minnow who uses his small size in a big way; Alexander, the mouse who learns the magic of friendship; and a fish who discovers that life in a small pond isn't so bad after all.
