Blog 10A: Anticipating the Novel-Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH is another book that I have not read. I am also unfamiliar with this book, and haven’t heard of it till this class. After reading the back cover, the book appears as though it will be “cute”. We will see if my opinion changes once I have read it. Based off of the back book summary, the book is about a widowed mouse with four children and she must move from where they are situated to their summer quarters or die. The one thing standing in the way if their move is the youngest son has pneumonia and he cannot be moved. This is where the rats of NIMH come into play.
First of all, I am not sure what NIMH stands for so I went to look it up and found that it stands for the National Institute of Mental Health. Don’t know if this was just a surprise for me, but I was a little taken aback by this. The rats come from NIMH, and they are not normal rats, they are laboratory rats. The book does look interesting, now that I have figured out a little more about it, and hopefully reading about these little mice will not only be cute, but also enjoyable.
