Oh the years have passed since I was first given this book by my grandparents, who held the beautiful Quail in high esteem, as well as beautiful Cape Cod. Such a tale is told about beautiful Robert, from how this beautiful little creature comes to be part of a human family, to the many talents Robert possessed, both human and bird-like.
If you have a child who is especially 'tuned in' to wildlife, I highly recommend this charming tale. I still have my battered copy in my library, and smile each time I thumb through the yellowed pages.

Surprisingly dull and boring. I love animal stories and fully expected to be smitten with the story of Robert the Quail. However, I found the story boring. Each chapter was more anecdotal and could be summarized in just a sentence or two. Also, Robert does not belong to the author but rather her neighbors -- there is definitely a disconnect in the story as she is relaying the neighbors' story rather than her own experiences with the bird.

A true story about a quail who became a valued part of one human family. A must read for all animal lovers.

Margaret Stanger wrote this engaging little book in a most appealing style -- informative and tender without being sentimental. I quickly felt as though I'd known the author and Robert as a neighbor. What a treasure!

Just loved this story. Enough so that I'm ordering a copy for each of my sisters.

A beautifully written, true account of a quail that became part of a very kind and patient family that allowed
this quail to be comfortable and exhibit an amazing amount of intelligence and feeling!

"That Quail, Robert" is a superb story, beautifully written
and sensitively evoked, about a social and affectionate little bird and
the people who love her. I recommend it most highly.

This book is...INCREDABLE! It's amazing! It shows that sometimes, even when it has never been done, it can truly be done and turn into something remarkable! This book is great of ANY age and is a TRUE story that will change the way you think about miracles!
