Relation Toward Books The Rescuers (The Rescuers #1)
I remember seeing The Rescuers film en francais back when I was in the third grade, but it took me until now to read the book. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, why am I reading a kids' book? Well, when it comes to great stories, I think you can be any age to read them. This one, a classic by Margery Sharp (she also wrote Something Light, another of my favorites), tells the story of a group of mice who decide to risk their lives in order to save a child. It's a story similar to The Rats of NIMH or Felidae, one sort of dark but still with wonderful characters and a brilliant ending. :)Present Containing Books The Rescuers (The Rescuers #1)

Romancing the Stone--with mice!I've read this book many times over the years, starting as a second or third grader. It is so much better than the Disney animated movie that was "based" on it. It's such a shame that it has been allowed to go out of print. I suspect it has languished because after the movie was made, people who hadn't read the book assumed that it must be as lackluster as the movie. I would classify The Rescuers as adventure, but it is first-class storytelling on all fronts, fullyIn this first book of a series, a group of mice known as the Prisoners' Aid Society wishes to help a Norwegian poet escape from the Black Castle. The group sends Bernard, a pantry mouse, to find Miss Bianca, a privileged mouse who lives in a porcelain pagoda in the home of the Norwegian ambassador, in order that she might help him locate the bravest mouse in Norway and send him to the Black Castle. In the end, Bernard, Bianca, and a Norwegian mouse named Nils make the journey to the castle
I haven't read any "Rescuers" books for years. Actually, I forgot about them for a while. But happily, we are now reunited! This book is very different from the Disney film of the same name which is hardly surprising. In a nutshell, the plot is Bernard, Bianca and Norwegian mouse, Nils must rescue a Norwegian poet who is prisoner in The Black Castle. *dun dun DUN* But what made me laugh was, when they finally rescue the poet he does not find it strange in the least that three mice have come to
A simply charming little story that warms the heart. I loved it!
It was very cute, though its nothing like the Disney movie, which I loved so much during my childhood.
Charming tale about three mice who are sent to rescue a prisoner from the black castle. Illustrations by Garth Williams who also drew for E.B. White's Stuart Little.
I'm enjoying reading all of the Disney source material! I've realized recently that I have read a lot of the source material for Disney movies, so now I'm making it an official project to complete. On with this book.I really enjoyed this. I loved seeing Miss Bianca's character development in this. She starts off as a pampered pet of an ambassador's son and never realized that other mice lived differently until she meets Bernard, a humble pantry mouse from the Prisoners' Aid Society asking her to
