I remeber having Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh read to me when I was in grade 5 by the school librarian. She would take a group into the library at lunch and read to us. I loved it so much, I made my mom take me to the movie. Which was nowhere near as good, as my ten year-old nitpicker told everyone.<\/p>\n

So it was with fond memories that I turned recentlt to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh. The book telss the story og a widowed field mouse with four young children wintering in the garden of the farm. One of them, Timothy, has fallen ill and can’t be moved. The problem is that the time for the move to summer home has come. If they don’t move, they will be killed when the farmer plows his field.<\/p>\n

Through a series of events, Mrs. Frisby turns to the rats that live under the rosebush for help. In doing so, she learns that her late husband had a history that she had no idea about and Mrs. Frisby is pulled into something far more dangerous and fantastic that she could ever imagine.<\/p>\n

This book may be almost forty years old, but it is still one of the best animal fantasy novels for children out there. This is one that a modern child (both boy and girl) could still enjoy, so much so that it will be in the next After Harry.<\/p>\n

Go get this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
