Bob White, a quail living in meadows and forests, has a busy season ahead: he and his mate must guide their fifteen chicks through the joys and hazards of life in the wild.

As the young birds learn to find their way, the Bob Whites face predators and meet other woodland creatures. Their days bring both practical lessons in survival and the pleasures of family life.

Thornton W. Burgess’s children’s nature story follows the quail family through the changing rhythms of the outdoors, with Bob White’s cheerful whistle marking their happy moments.
