Young Fredle is about a house mouse who finds himself being tossed out of the kitchen and into the great outdoors. On top of having to learn new words for everything (moon, stars, grass, raccoon) Fredle is also trying to learn how to fend for himself without his family and familiar surroundings. This book is full of memorable characters such as Angus and Sadie, the house dogs, Cap'n and his rowdy raccoons, and of course Fredle the mouse who rises above it all to make his own path in life. Fans of the Mrs. Fristy and the Rats of Nimh by Robert O'Brien, Nurk by Ursula Vernon, and The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Clearly will love the adventures of Young Fredle.
