Mrs Frisby and the Crow Read Aloud
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
by Robert C. O'Brien (1973)
A Sweet Spot and Intermediate selection.
Robert C. O'Brien's Newbery Laurels-winning Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH is one of the longest books recommended for I School, One Book . Information technology is a beguiling and unforgettable book that tells ii stories. Beginning we meet Mrs. Frisby, a mouse who lives on a farm, who must find new living quarters for her family, a task across her physical capabilities. Her search takes her to the mysterious, secretive, industrious rats who likewise live on the farm. And these rats — the rats from NIMH — turn out to have their own story, an unexpected, captivating tale of capture, experimentation, and escape — a story whose nine chapters are the hugger-mugger heart of Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.
One might think that a chapter book 235 pages long is too much for younger children. And it is truthful that Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH is a more than ambitious Ane Schoolhouse, One Volume choice. But the story delights and captivates younger children because they are able to place with the plight of animals. They empathize with Mrs. Frisby and her sick son every bit she visits a crow, an apothecary, an owl and eventually the rats. They may non understand what NIMH is exactly, but they still thrill to the plight of capture and escape (via air-conditioning ducts). Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH eventually has larger themes to explore including independence and sacrifice.
It all sounds like a lot but that's why it's been charming readers — children and families akin — for decades. A fine instance of how Ane Schoolhouse, One Volume tin bring families together, holding the attending of first graders and fifth graders simultaneously, thus building a culture of reading.
(O'Brien died in 1973, merely his girl, Jane Leslie Conly, wrote two worthy sequels, Racso and the Rats of NIMH and R-T, Margaret, and the Rats of NIMH.)
