Charming little book about a a charming little quail |
|
This is an adorable book, almost as much a nature study as narrative, about Robert the Quail and the two families who fostered him. The focus is on Robert, with only enough background on the families to make you glad that they found him. The quirks, the idiosyncrasies, the challenges -- all here. But oh! how I would have enjoyed better illustrations! |

A Great & Touching Classic |
|
I bought this as a birthday gift because it is one of my favorite animal stories. So touching and endearing. It is still one of the best (along with my all-time-favorite, The Cat Who Went to Heaven). For a lovely, quick read, if you haven't yet picked it up, do so. You won't be disappointed. And for animal lovers, Wow! |

The Enduring Story of Robert the Quail |
|
An elderly woman friend recommended that I read the small little book "That Quail Robert" when I was still a very young man. On hearing the title, I thought, "No way. For old ladies only." A few months later I read it, and the deep fondness I had for this lovely true tale was instantly indelible. Many times I've read it since and frequently give it as a gift to friends. This is a small book with a gentle story which fills one with delight. |

Wonderful Book |
This was just a wonderful little book. Animals lovers will adore it. I found myself re-reading passages over and over again. We have hundreds of quail in our backyard every year due to the crushed corn we feed them, this book will make my enjoyment of them even greater. Read this book!!! |
