lovespeakseverylanguage 's review for:

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien
5.0

I hadn't read this since grade school, and didn't remember much of the story line (though as a nerdy personal aside, I've always credited this book as teaching me what the "lee side" of something meant ☺️).

Happy to report, it was worth the revisit, and my kids loved it as well. In a realistic way, it doesn't tie up all neatly in the end, and I love it even more for that.

Another personal aside - the book was a gift from my favorite teacher (4th grade). The note on the inside cover was a lovely forgotten surprise.
