sunbean 's review for:

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

It took me and my son a long time to read this together. When we first started he was hesitant and there were many words he didn't know. We took turns reading each page. At the end, he could read smoothly and easily and there were only a few words he didn't know. I'm so proud of him! I will always love this book now that I have read it with him. I also bought it in 2002, at the old book store I worked at in college, B. Dalton. They are all closed now. It was neat to find the receipt tucked in the pages, and remember how much fun I had buying books there and pretty much spending all my paycheck on books instead of food.

Likes: This book is great for a middle reader because it's engaging in the plot and not too difficult but there are some challenging words so that readers have things to learn. I like that the main character is a little momma mouse; although she is little and not as smart as the rats of NIHM, she helps save her family and the day. She's awesome :)

Dislikes: None I can think of!
