This was ok. Not as humourous as I remember of the other (few) books I‘ve read by Pratchett. I hate footnotes, though, and even more so in fiction, but Pratchett uses them. Luckily, there were not many in this book

Read in March.
This is a reread from my childhood and I loved it all over again. It will be one of the books in my nephew‘s birthday pile.
I am so delighted to have read this and yet mad that I just read it for the first time, now, at my age, because this book was absolutely magical and delightful.
This book is just such a sweet, simple read and yet full of layers in an easy enough language for the age group that it's written for. I love that the author breaks the 4th wall throughout the book to connect with the reader.
Absolutely loved this!
I loved how characters were pretty nicely fleshed out, not too common thing in this genre.
Atmosphere was horrid! I could really feel the horror and fear that characters were feeling. Ending was also great xD

This is a pretty slow story. Overall, I‘m rating it ok, though. I‘m not thrilled about rats being poisoned at the border. None of the 4 were terribly likable or interesting. I was a child in 1979, so some of the 70s references (tv, music, etc) were kind of fun. Also, my grandparents, then parents sold farm equipment, so it was interesting for me to read about the different farm equipment, though this is unlikely to be of interest to many.
4✨I watched the movie as a kid so many times and never read the book. It was pretty much as epic as I remembered. Mrs Frisby has a sick child in their burrow and since her husband had passed away it was up to her to figure out how to protect him since the farmer was going to plow the field where they lived. This brave mama met with a crow, owl, rats, and the humans bent on exterminating them all. Definitely a book worth the Newberry Metal #roll100
Mrs. Frisby is a widow with 4 small children. She must move her family to their summer quarters immediately, or face almost certain death when the farmer plants the field. To make matters worse, her littlest one is ill with pneumonia. Can she reach the mysterious rats of NIMH in time and request help?? Book 1 of 3.

“But not just any Cat! With a brain enhanced by microchips and a suit upgraded with cybernetic biotechnology, the fantastic feline is a hero the likes of which the universe has never seen!“
This book is so much fun! It has comedy and adventure that really pulls the reader in. The story is so funny and ridiculous that you can't help but fall into the story head first.
This book is a silly story about scientists who discover the moon is being eaten by evil mice. In order to stop this, they send in a cat, a moon queen, and, by accident, a robot. The scientists have 3 days to take down the evil mice and save the moon!
