Blog 16: Anticipating Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH

More rats :( As we discussed in Blog 6, Jaimie is not fond of mice and rats. This is another book I have never read, however, the title did sound familiar. I again went to my childrens book buff/5th grade teacher friend Caitlin to get a review of the book. She told me that the rats of NIMH are rats that have been experimentd on and now have almost-human abilities. Shudder. I actually liked the Redwall mice. They were nice and not very mouselike at all. I read the Wikipedia for this book and it seems like the animals are being brought to the same level as humans, even more so than the characters in Redwall. This should be an interesting read. I am curious to see how these rats and mice compare to those in the Redwall book.
