PreSchool-Grade 2?A pourquoi story of sorts that describes the generous spirit of a small bird. Seven days before Christmas, Little Robin washes and irons each of his seven vests. On the first day, he wears his white one to the pond, but gives it away to cold Frog. Six days before Christmas, he gives his green one to freezing Hedgehog. Each subsequent day he offers a vest to a friend who needs it more than he does. Finally, he is caught on a roof in the snow with nothing to wear. Luckily for him, Santa is en route and rescues the small bird whose generosity has not gone unnoticed. Santa takes him to Mrs. Claus, who knits him a lovely red vest (making him Robin Redbreast). The glowing watercolor-and-ink illustrations depict plump woodland creatures and a Santa Claus who sports a hip ponytail. The charm and warmth of the story and the illustrations combine to make this a fitting choice for most collections.?MMH
