Video Preview of our Book: Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH

This, of course, is the trailer to the movie that was made for the book.  While it has many similarities, there are also a handful of differences, too.  Revisit this thread once you make some progress in the book and discuss how the trailer is similar and different from the book.

NIMH? What does that mean?

NIMH is an acronym.  You may recall that an acronym is a word formed from the first letters of several words.  NIMH must stand for something.  Can you figure out what it stands for?

If you're not sure what NIMH stands for, I'm sure you'll find out soon enough.  What are some other acronyms that we should be familiar with?  Let's keep a running list on this thread.

Welcome to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH

As you read the first chapter, find out as much as you can about Mrs. Frisby and her family.  Share everything you know about the Frisby family and home.  List your information so we can all view and compare it to everyone else's ideas.
