YOTTOY Leo Lionni Collection | Frederick Soft Stuffed Mouse Plush Toy

Beloved character from Leo Lionni's Caldecott Honor-winning storybook, Frederick, Frederick is a quiet and poetic mouse who spends his days dreaming and soaking in the nature around him. Made of soft gray plush with an embroidered dreamy expression, this hopeful mouse stands proudly holding a velvety-soft red flower that he has gathered (along with sun rays, colors and words) to brighten the cold dark winter ahead. Sized at 7.5", excluding ears, Frederick is the ideal cuddle, reading & play companion, meant to be cherished all seasons and inspire young readers to stay true to themselves and find magic in what may seem intangible at first.

With four Caldecott Honors and more than 40 books published, Leo Lionni's stories and emblematic characters continue to bring joy to the world of children's literature. As the first children's illustrator to use cut-paper collage as the primary medium for illustrations, Lionni's simple yet brightly colored images and textures bounce from the pages. YOTTOY brings to life two of Lionni's most beloved characters as companions to his stories with valuable life messages. Luxurious materials and intricate embroidery details add the special nature of these toys.

YOTTOY ("toy" spelled backward and forward and pronounced yàht-toy) is a specialty toy company founded in 1995 with the vision of bringing beloved characters to life to inspire children's imaginations. As a mother, YOTTOY founder Kate Clark understands how important toys are to kids in helping them develop emotional and social intelligence through imaginative role-playing. By helping characters from beloved children's books come to life, YOTTOY encourages creative play and provides many opportunities for meaningful moments to be shared between generations—especially during story time.

All the magic happens in YOTTOY's sunny design studio in the heart of New York City where all toys are designed and developed in a playful, creative space with bright bouncing colors, bustling with creative energy.
