My review of Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH is in two parts:

The quote I alluded to is from Nicodemus from Chapter 21 of Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. The exact quote is as follows:
Surely rats would have developed reading and writing, judging by the way we took to it. But what about machines? What about cars and airplanes? Maybe not airplanes. After all, monkeys, living in trees, must have felt a need to fly, must have envied the birds around them. Rats may not have that instinct.
In the same way, a rat civilization would probably never have built skyscrapers, since rats prefer to live underground. But think of the endless subways-below-subways-below-subways they would have had.

I was able to read this book thanks to the Michigan statewide state-wide interlibrary loan service called MeLCat, which may be in danger thanks to a Presidential executive order. If you, like me, enjoy using MeLCat, contact your local representatives and let them know.
