    Must Read This Book

    "That Quail, Robert" is a must read. It is about a little quail who lives with his human family, true story. So funny at times. I have read the book two times, and have purchased this book to send to my sister. You cannot go wrong reading this book, and possibly read it twice, and pass it on.

    A terrific book!

    If you like books about animals, you'll love "That Quail, Robert." It's amazing what animals can do -- and a fun and interesting read. I like it so much that I bought a hardcover first edition. I highly recommend it!
