Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh

by Robert C. O'Brien

In this unusual, but beloved Newberry prize winning story, sophisticated topics like compassion, decision making, and xenophobia are artfully addressed in a simple tale of the depth of maternal love shown by an anthropomorphic mouse that must overcome her fears and accept assistance from her natural enemies in order to save her children.
