        <description><![CDATA[Timothy is the frailest of the Frisby children, and "when colds or flu or virus infections (come) around he (is) the first to catch them and the slowest to recover" (Chapter 1 - "The Sickness of Timothy Frisbee").  Mrs. Frisby attributes his frailness to an incident that happened to him when "he was only a baby, scarcely bigger than a marble".  While playing with the other children, Timothy had wandered away, and had been bitten by something...]]></description>

3.  Teamwork is valued and successful.
4.  Surviving on one's own hard work is better than relying on others (such as stealing from humans).
5.  Everyone is an important part of a team, no matter how small or seemingly unimportant.
6.  Technology...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Mrs. Frisby concludes that the food she has found in the hollow stump must have been left by an animal that had been killed by a hunter.
Mrs. Frisby's husband had died the previous summer, but she had managed to keep herself and her four children fed through the fall and the bitter winter.  It is February now, and although she still has ample stores in her pantry, the family has been eating the same thing everyday for quite some time.

        <description><![CDATA[Jenner is &quot;extremely quick and intelligent&quot; (Chapter 14), and is often the first to figure out a solution in a crisis situation.  It is Jenner who first begins to make the connection between the letters the rats are being taught and reading, and he is instrumental in orchestrating the rats' escape from NIMH.  Despite his &quot;astute(ness)&quot; and his problem-solving abilities, however, Jenner does not really seem to be a team...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Jenner is worried first of all about the consequences of the experiments that have been performed on the rats in the laboratories of NIMH; he is worried about what exactly the implications are for rats who have human intelligence.  He says, &quot;We don't know where to go because we don't know what we are.  Do (we) want to go back to living in a sewer-pipe?  And eating other people's garbage?  Because that's what rats do.  But the fact...]]></description>
