nancyadelman 's review for:
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh
by Robert C. O'Brien, Zena Bernstein
This is one of the books that I read and read over and over again throughout my childhood. I saw the cover in a bookshop and it took me back and I had to have it. It is the story of Mrs. Frisby, a field mouse, who lives with her family in a cinder block in a field on a farm. Her young son, Timothy, falls ill and she is forced to turn to a nearby rat colony for assistance. Little does she know these are no ordinary rats. This is a book you can read over and over again. It is a chapter book, but for older children, probably around age 10-12. There are some complicated issues in this book that went completely over my head when I was reading this as a child. It is a good book though.
