Reading

Listen, look, and build. We offer a whole library of projects to help our students connect with wonderful stories by honoring them with a design that allows even the youngest child to make their own vision of the story character. We begin these programs by introducing the story, reading the book, discussing the theme, and then creating their own characters. These projects are typically one-hour-long sessions and can take place here at the Museum, at your school, or virtually.

With winter coming, all the mice were gathering food except for one...who saw things like none of the others saw them. This mouse used words and stories to carry his friends through the long, cold winter. Build your own Frederick to honor Leo Lionni's little mouse who saw things in his own special way. A timeless story that can be read again and again with fervor and amazement.
