 A Great & Touching Classic June 30, 2008
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 January 14, 2008

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 December 31, 2007
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!!!

That Quail Robert will surely touch your heart... September 4, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
"That Quail Robert" by Margaret Stanger is a delightful book. It is a true story of a retired couple who find an abandoned quail egg and hatch it under a boudoir lamp on their kitchen counter. The quail grew up as a cherished & very willing member of it's human family. Robert also became quite a local star of sorts. Robert later turns out to be a 'Roberta' when she lays one perfect little egg. Robert's family tried to release her, but Robert chose to stay with his human family. It almost seems as if she knew she had to stay to teach her humans about love and life. Robert ends up deeply touching most any human whom she came upon.
Anyone that loves animals would enjoy this story. This book is also well suited for young readers, as well as adults. I laughed at all of Robert's little habits. Then I cried when she finally put her head under her wing and fell asleep for the last time.
This book will remain cherished in my book collection, hopefully to share with future generations.
