Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Mystery of a Mouse
The book, The Secret of Nimh, is a great book because it has mice as the main characters but it is also a mystery.

The book is about one family of mice and the mother, Mrs. Frisby, is worried because her son is sick and won't be strong enough for moving day (where they have to move because the backyard they live in will get plowed). She went to the creature that is so wise and gives good advice to everyone, the owl. The owl suggested that she ask the rats for advice and off she went. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Bravo!
Well written and thoroughly engrossing tale about the magic rats of Mrs. Frisbes farm, who have created a society in secret in a mysterious bush. A well developed plot with plenty of action, mystery, and magic that readers of any age will enjoy. Excellent art and simple but beautiful prose, and a perfect bedtime story for your young one to satisfy for many nights.

Granted i havnet read this in years, i am actually contemplating its purchase as ... Read More

Mrs. Frisby is worried about her youngest son Timothy. Moving day is coming, and with Timothy sick in bed with a pneumonia she can't move him. It seems like there is no hope, until Mrs. Frisby meets a crow named ... Read More
