How the Quail Earned His Topknot
By Richard Oldenburg
A young quail loves running so much that he’s never even tried to fly. All the other quail tease him and think he’s strange. Tired of being made fun of, he decides to learn to fly as well. The quail enters a contest that requires him to run and fly, and he’s set to race against a fast road runner bird. Will his running skills come in handy? Has he had enough practice flying so he can win the race? This cute story teaches children to value each other’s differences. Richard Oldenburg has included science as an integral component in his teaching career. A graduate of California State University, Long Beach, he has been a teacher and administrator at all levels of education. A member of the Society of Children’s Writers and Illustrators, as well a graduate of the Institute of Children’s Literature, he continues to write on animal themes. In his spare time Oldenburg concentrates on golf, fishing, and spending time with the grandchildren.

This is a fun way to tell children to expand their interest in new activities as they will never know their capabilities unless they try. An added incentive would be to find out that one can share their successes with others if they do their very best. This book is another way to teach them to explore other worlds with its rewards.
