I got a real sense of acheivement and goodness reading this. I loved the way Mrs Frisby spoke of her husband with true love, and the way he had taught them to read so they could also have a better life. It gave great insight into "how to be a good mother"!!
I also loved the idea of the "medicine mouse" being old and wise.I think, as a childrens book, this gives a really positive image as to mother hood and how women can be mothers and still be strong within themselves. I really don;t like books trhat have a "moral message" behind them, and even though this book did have that in a way, it was ever preachy nor did it ever make me feel that I should be living my life a different way (which many books do at the moment!).
I'm a huge fan of kids books! So many of them deal with such difficult issues in such a wondrous way.
