mudder17 's review for:

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

5.0

I loved the movie and this book growing up, but I have to admit, I didn't remember much about the story other than that Mrs. Frisby was a plucky and courageous mouse who did what she had to in order to help her sick son and keep her family safe. I listened to the audio read by Barbara Caruso and I thought she was perfect for this story. Although some aspects of the story are a little out-dated (she's known as Mrs. Jonathan Frisby rather than by her own name, and some are not initially thrilled about females doing "dangerous' things), overall, the story has aged well and I enjoyed it very much! I don't remember liking the second two books as much way back when, so I may or may not check them out.
