Mother and Child I

　　It's said that there's no greater love than a mother's love. In the novel, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, a widowed mouse shows how far a mother's love can stretch.

　　Mrs. Frisby needs to look for a new home because the farmer is going to knock their house down. Unfortunately, her youngest son Timothy is sick. When Mrs. Frisby discovers that Timothy can't move, what does she do to save his life? She does what any loving mother would do─everything!

　　To protect her family, Mrs. Frisby is willing to put her life in her enemies' hands. That's why she takes a dangerous flight on a crow's back to get to a wise owl's nest. It takes all her courage to trust the owl. But with the hope that the owl can save her son's life, Mrs. Frisby is no longer afraid.
