Story Time: Frederick, the Story of a Field Mouse, Narrated by Michael Shannon for CCTv
The book was first published in 1967. It’s the simple tale of a family of field mice who work together all through summer and fall to prepare for winter. It seems that Frederick isn't doing anything to help, but he surprises them and helps everyone survive until spring.
Chicago Children’s Theatre’s new virtual puppet performance of Frederick is free to watch on CCTv, the company’s YouTube channel. The video concludes with music and behind-the-scenes footage of the making of Frederick, and a link to donate to Chicago Children’s Theatre during this critical time.
