That Quail, Robert
Author(s): Margaret Stanger
Review(s):
“Along with BORN FREE and RASCAL, this true story of the little quail that loved people ranks among the great nature tales of all time.”
“Robert revealed to those about her (he turned out to be a she) that there is indeed a universal language that all life shares. It is called love.”
“Captivating, charming, incredible, poignant. . . . At the end one has met and come to love a wild, shy, natural denizen of the fields and woods almost as a human friend.”
“Enthralling. … No one who has had a pet or watched a bird could fail to be enchanted. … Highly recommended.”
“A classic”
“A delight. … A beautiful little book illustrated with drawings by Cathy Baldwin.”

The acclaimed story of the little bird that won the nation’s heart
He’ll never live, the neighbors all said. But Robert, the abandoned quail chick would prove them wrong. Born on a kitchen counter in a house on Cape Cod, raised in a box surrounded by a lamb’s wool duster and a small lamp, Robert’s life began auspiciously.
