Description
The rats under the rosebush tell Mrs. Frisby, the mouse widow, about their escape from a laboratory where experimentation had made them literate, and of her brave husband's death.
Publisher's Description of Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
Mrs. Frisby, a widowed mouse with four small children, is faced with a terrible problem. She must move her family to their summer quarters immediately, or face almost certain death. But her youngest son, Timothy, lies ill with pneumonia and must not be moved. Fortunately, she encounters the rats of NIMH, an extraordinary breed of highly intelligent creatures, who come up with a brilliant solution to her dilemma. And Mrs. Frisby in turn renders them a great service.
Category Description for Guides for Grades 3-5
A set of Literature Units (LU) is a complete language arts curriculum teaching vocabulary, grammar, composition, spelling, story elements, and figurative language in the context of popular children's books. LUs each explore one facet of a concept that ties three units together. Each unit has a primary book that is studied for 2-3 weeks and may include additional titles. these concept-based studies allow your child to compare/contrast themes and characters across novels.
Lessons are structured and easy to use but extremely varied, often with several options for an assignment. In lower grades each Literature Package contains the LU and the corresponding novel and possibly other components. Student Activity Page Sets are not included in the packages. The LU includes these pages (single-sided and usable but not reproducible).

Read this as a child and enjoyed it
I'm using the Ambleside Online Homeschool curriculum and this book is part of the free reads assigned. The curriculum so far has been an absolute joy. I purchased the remaining books and look forward…
Birthday present. I always have my daughter choose her favorite book from the year we've finished to give as part of her gift.
