Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH is about Mrs. Frisby who has to move her house before the plow destroys their home and kills them. But her youngest son, Timothy, is sick with pneumonia. She learns about the Rats of NIMH from the owl. The rats are highly intelligent and helped Mrs. Frisby to come up with a good solution to her problem. The plan was to bury her cinder block house under the surface of the ground, out of the reach of Mr. Fitzgibbon's plow. The plan worked and the Frisby family and home was saved, but not without adventure, bravery and excitement.

Other characters in the book were Jermemy the crow. He introduced Mrs. Frisby to the Owl. They always had to watch out for Dragon, the cat. Isabella was also one the mice whose parents were from NIMH. Brutus was a rat but he was not from NIMH although he lived with the Rats of NIMH.

I liked Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH because the Rats of NIMH lived under ground and had running water and electricity. At NIMH, the rats were taught the to read. They also had better memory skills. I am nine years old and read this book as an assignment but enjoyed it anyway.

I must've read this book a thousand times, but until I reach a million, that is by no means enough. My imagination gets going, and almost always my curiousity along with it. So many nights I have kept myself up for as long as I could, reading excitedly in the quiet darkness. Which of these paragraphs and pages will I read over and over in my contemplation, wondering also if it's silly that I get myself so involved in such a make-believe story? And what, if limits will be set, will I finally dream of as I lay the book to rest for the night? I've yet to know the answers beforehand, therefore, I shall read of the honorable Mrs. Frisby and the clever rats of NIMH again and again and again. If it isn't obvious, I strongly reccomend this book.

Ich muss sagen, dies ist einer der Klassiker der Kinderliteratur, und sicherlich eines der besten Bücher dieser, dass die Tiere vermenschlicht, indem sie ihnen Stimme und Tiefe als Zeichen. Ich würde es auf eine Stufe mit Stuart Little setzen. Die Schurken sind in erster Linie Menschen, die ich interessant finde in einer Welt, wo so viele andere Tiere haben fit, diese Rolle könnte, aber das bedeutet nicht weg von der Geschichte. Intelligent Geschichtenerzählen mit einer großen Besetzung von Charakteren. Eine ausgezeichnete lesen.

I'm a ten year old reader. I like the book very much. It's about how this mouse tries to save her son and at the same time makes friends with the rats and finds out what happened to her late husband in the past. I really like how the rats and mouse developed their friendship and saved each other. I recommend this book to all nature and animal lovers.

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh is one of my favourite books. Although it is intended for children, it is just as suitable for adults. The plot is very unusual and gripping: Mrs. Frisby is a small mouse with five children. When one of them falls ill just before the farmer will plow the field in which the mice live, her family is in great trouble, because the ill son can`t leave the field. Deseprately, she seeks help, and finally ends up talking to the rats who live under the rosebush. Those rats however aren`t nornmal rats, they have a secret...

In my opinion, the story is suitable for kids aged nine or older if read by the child itself, eight and older if read aloud by an adult. If you know the corresponding film, please note that the book is much more complex.

After some consideration, I decided this was my favorite book as a child. However, it can be enjoyed by people of any age. Through mice and other small personified animals, Robert C O'Brien built a tale that is impossible to put down or frown upon. When the youngest of a family of mice falls ill with pneumonia, he is forced to stay indoors. This presents a serious problem, since the family must soon move to their summer home or be plowed by the farmer's tractor who owns the field. The mother and head of the family, Mrs. Frisby, is forced to turn to a mysterious group of rats living under a rose bush for help. What Mrs. Frisby hadn't known, however, was the rats' connection with her late husband Jonathon Frisby...Hopefully, this short summary is intriguing enough to make you read this book. You won't regret it.

This is one of my favorite books. This science-fiction-adventure story kept me glued to its pages. A fantastic What If book, it is fast paced and spirited. The reader is immediately drawn into Mrs. Frisby's (a widowed mouse) terrifying plight of what to do about moving day (when the farmer starts his plowing) because her youngest son is deathly ill and can't be moved. Mrs. Frisby must search for answers and in the process takes on frightening adventures, discovers "secret worlds," and learns the truth about her late husband. Not to be missed by book lovers!

As good a children's novel that there can be, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh has a great plot and great (actually, fantastic) characters and storyline. The first time I read this book, I could not lay it down. This book will make the reader laugh, think, feel sad, and amazed. A must have, not only for children, but for adults, too.

This story has long been one of my favorites and deserves to be a (future) Classic. O'Brien introduces many serious issues into his fascinating yet charming tale about a fieldmouse mother who desperately needs help to save her family. When Farmer Fitzgibbon prepares to plow up his vegetable garden, it proves an annual Day of Judgment for all the creatures who forage therein. Mrs. Frisby's quiet determination to save her invalid child leads her on a perilous quest, during which her matnernal devotion and courage will be tested.

To willingly enter the home of an owl, to humbly approach the clannish rats in the rosebush, to expose herself to a hungry cat, this tiny fieldmouse proves equal to all demands upon her trembling heart--a true and worthy wife to the late Jonathan Frisby. Her husband has earned the respect of many creatures, including the owl and the secretive rats. She gradually discovers that she (and her children in particular) are much more than they seem.

Just who Are these rats who know so much, who possess so many human inventions, who can read and write, who have even acquired a sense of morality? Why are they called "mechanized" and consider themselves "civilized?" How and where does a private rat Society fit in with normal rats and normal humans--with all their foibles? Can timid Mrs. Frisby help them in their endeavor to find a peaceful and pro-social environment free of human interference? Then too, why should the rats bother about her problem, when their very existence is threatened? O'Brien reminds us of the dangers of genetic tampering, and points out the similarities between both rat and human species when it comes to issues like theft, power struggle, greed, and lust for fame, as well as self sacrifice, courage, faith and hope. This is a wonderful and highly-enjoyable read--not just for kids!
