Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh
Robert O'Brien1971
In this fantasy story, Mrs. Frisby is a widowed mouse who has 4 children, one who is a sickly child. The family needs to move to their summer home but can't due to Timothy's sickness. Mrs. Frisby does all she can and even goes to unlikely friends for help with her family's delimma.
This story is one of my favorites. I read it aloud to my class each year around February and March. After the first time I read this, it made me look at the "real" mice and rat population differently. I can't help but wonder whether mice could be trained in such a way. I feel that it may be a possibility with all the experiments done on rats for research.
