Criticism Appertaining To Books Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH (Rats of NIMH #1)

If you are looking for a specific brand of childrens book that is simultaneously wholesome, while containing legitimate sci-fi horror elements, then look no further than Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. Ill admit, I recently found myself re-watching Don Bluths film adaptation The Secret of NIMH, which peaked my curiosity to seek out the source material. While I first saw this film as an adult, I cannot say that this story evokes much childhood nostalgia for me as it does for the many others who

How is it these rats can illuminate their entire underground nest with Christmas lights, but every year thousands of Americans cannot decorate their trees???

This book captivated me from start to finish when I read it - for the first time - as an adult. It's such a beautiful story of courage and morality and heroism.

She asked some good questions. Not all the time, but from time

This is the Newberry Award winning book for 1973, and this was there main reason I wanted to read it. Normally it's a mixed bag with books that win this award for me, but this time I can say this book deserved the award. This is a really good book.This is an interesting introduction to science-fiction for young readers. I mean rats and a few mice with special intellectual properties that want to build their own successful community... What's not to be interested in? The story has aged really

I picked this book up for a Middle Grade March book that has been made into a movie. I wasn't sure whether or not a middle grade book written in 1971 would hold up so I didn't go into this book with a lot of enthusiasm but in the end I was pleasantly surprised. A story in which all of the main characters are animals did something to pull on my heartstrings in a way that human characters wouldn't. I loved how all of the characters in this book worked together to help each other without expecting
