November 29, 2019There are two possible interpretations for this book.
1. Little Robin is an idiot.
2. Little Robin's Christmas is a metaphor for the failings of socialism with a backhanded supporting nod to isolationism via nationalism.
To the second interpretation first, the moral of the story seems to be that Little Robin, through the spirit of goodness and giving reticent of the Christmas season literally gives animals the shirt off of his own back in order to keep other animals warm. Some of those animals, one could argue, had no reason to be walking around in the middle of winter. Frogs hibernate in winter. And the foolish socialist Robin, hindering his own odds for survivability, gives his clothes to the frog who should have - by not hibernating like a sensible frog - died of cold. The hedgehog hibernates in winter and the one walking around should have, by all natural rights of survival, died. Moles don't hibernate, but they serve as a good metaphor for the oppressed, the blind tunnelers who don't see the light of day. Socialism says to help the poor, the destitute, those who live in tunnels and dig in the dirt. The squirrel, the greedy capitalist, probably had tons of nuts stashed in his hoard, but the accommodating, gullible Robin gave up his shirt for him nonetheless. At last the poor Robin is left with no sweater vests, huddling for warmth on a windswept roof (see interpretation 1 because his choice of shelter was stupid) more or less waiting to die of cold when - you guessed it - a great big benevolent distributor of undeserved gifts shows up - WEARING RED - and tucked him into his soft, white beard. The benevolent bearded figure (need I point out that both Lenin and Che Guevara had beards and Stalin had a very beardish moustache?!?) then rewards Robin with a RED vest of his own made from the very cloth that clothed Big Brother himself. Glowing with pride, his chest as red as Rudolph's nose - which I can only assume is a clever, though incorrect, anagram for famous Democratic Socialist Bernie Sanders. The message is clear.
To the first interpretation, while it may be very kind to give away all of ones clothes, think through the consequences of your actions and give what you can. If you're going to freeze to death through your generosity, is it really the best course of action?
A third interpretation, I suppose, though very distant and highly implausible in this polemic and vitriolic world we find ourselves in, is that during the Christmas season kindness to others is its own reward and we should all be nicer to those for whom we have the opportunity regardless of their or our circumstances.

Little Robin has seven beautiful vests to keep him warm in the winter, but he gives them away to animals who are freezing in the snow, until on Christmas Eve he only has one vest left. He meets a lonely mouse who is shivering in the cold, and gives away his last vest. Now Little Robin will be frozen, unless a certain jolly fellow in a red coat can find this generous bird and give him the most precious Christmas gift of all.
Little Robin is such a sweet and generous little guy! He meets a lot of different animals struggling to stay warm in the snow and ice of the winter, and thoughtfully offers them a knitted vest to keep them warm and cozy.
He meets a mole, a squirrel, a frog, a rabbit, a baby otter, and a hedgehog, and they are all adorable characters who are grateful to have some warm clothing. The rabbit is so big that he has to wear Robin's little bird-size vest as a hat, and his long rabbit ears stick out of the arm holes! haha! So cute! But the small vest is just the right size for the baby otter.
I am amazed at the beautiful illustrations. The snow really feels cold, and the details on the knitted vests make them look so cozy and soft. You can even see individual stitches in the knitting pattern of the vests! Each vest is a different color with a cute wintry embroidery pattern on it. I just love the color scheme, and sweet expressions on the animals' faces.
I loved all the little details in the background of each illustration, like footprints in the snow, trees covered in ice, and red berries ripening on a branch. These are things that draw the reader into the wintry world of the story.
The best part of this book is when Santa finds Little Robin freezing in the snow, and snuggles Little Robin into his Santa beard for warmth on the sleigh ride to his home in the North Pole. So adorable and Christmasy! What a Santa thing to do! haha!
An interesting feature in the story is the emphasis in the writing about how many vests are left after one have been given away and how that corresponds with how many days are left until Christmas. Robin has six vests left, and there are six days until Christmas. Then Robin has only five vests left, and there are five days until Christmas. This is a brilliant way to get children to do a little math along with the story, and it's so subtle that they won't even know they are learning!
The pages are thick and matte, with a sturdy hardcover. But the really special thing is the foil overlays on the dust jacket that make the snow sparkle on the cover. It looks so pretty!

3.5 STARS. This is along the lines of the fables such as "How Leopard Got His Spots" In this case, we discover how robin got his red breast. The illustrations are cute and it's the traditional holiday story of giving to those less fortunate and then getting some sweet unexpected reward yourself in the end. I also liked the British influence (the author is British) since it seems the robin/Christmas connection over there is much stronger than it is here.

Robin eagerly looks forward to the arrival of Christmas. His seven warm vests have him all ready to enjoy winter activities in the meantime. But for each of the next seven days as Robin heads out to enjoy a variety of different activities, he comes across an animals suffering from the cold. His kind heart leads him to give away all of his vests. As he huddles, shivering on a roof, he's visited by one who appreciates his acts of kindness. The message in this book couldn't be clearer, but I didn't find it didactic in the slightest. Robin is a sweet character whose kindness feels natural as he seeks to help his friends. And the illustrations are absolutely darling. This is a Christmas book classic in the making, at least in my opinion. It's definitely going on my Christmas favorites shelf.

It starts at a seemingly predictable book- and though I wouldn’t say the ending wasn’t expecting- the underlying lesson came in strong for the closer. Little Robin reminds you of what the Christmas spirit that we so often forget is really about.

Pro: Sharing, counting (number of sweaters, days of Christmas), putting others before yourself
Cons: TOO SMALL OF FONT

Read some Christmas books to grandkids. Attempting to complete Goodreads goal. I just got back in my reading groove after being in a funk for awhile in this crazy year. This was a delightful quick read with adorable illustrations and a nice message for the littles!

I had to straighten the kids' section. In doing so, I found this delightful book. I LOVED the cover, so like a typical bookseller, I sat there and read it. I was almost blubbering like a damn fool throughout the book! Beautiful illustrations, and a warm and poignant story for the kids' at Christmas!

This is the story of a generous robin, who, seven days before Christmas, owns seven warm vests, but by the end of the week has given them all away to friends in need, causing him to receive special recognition from Santa Claus himself. The repetitive structure of the story and the sweet, slightly cartoonish illustrations were instantly appealing to my two-year-old daughter, and her older sisters enjoyed reading it with us as well. Though it's didn't make my list for my pre-Christmas story time, its large size also makes it an ideal read-aloud book for groups.

Mooi prentenboek over vogeltje met zeven kersttruien die hij weggeeft aan zijn vriendjes die het koud hebben. Tellen komt aan bod, evenals kleuren en vriendschap en iets voor een ander doen. Heerlijk lief boek! De kerstman komt er even in voor, maar dat had niet gehoeven.

I only discovered this book in adulthood but I now like to read it each winter! Caring demonstrated throughout between friends in a lovely way.

Little Robin gives away his seven warm vests to other animals in need and is rescued by Santa when his generosity leaves him alone in the cold.
Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat.
Please put a penny in the old man's hat.
If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do.
If you haven't got a ha'penny, then God bless you!
Little Robin embodies the spirit of generosity and charity associated with contemporary celebrations of Christmas. He gives away his warm winter clothing to others in need, which leads to his nearly freezing to death. Luckily, Santa Claus discovers him huddled on a rooftop and takes him home to Mrs. Claus.
Mrs. Claus knits Little Robin a new sweater vest using a thread from Santa's suit, and as a reward for his generosity, Santa endows it with Christmas magic. This vest will not only keep Little Robin warm when he wears it, but it will also keep everyone who sees it warm as well.
I found this story problematic. Altruism is almost always portrayed as positive even though it can have a high personal cost. Little Robin gives away all of his winter clothes to others, including to two animals that should have been hibernating. His selflessness would have resulted in his death if not for the intervention of a kindly stranger. Little Robin's actions are -- to put it bluntly -- stupid.
Giving from a position of plenty is a wonderful thing. But there is a big different between giving what one can spare and what one needs for one's self. Although we are socialized to help others in need, self-preservation is also important.
Because resources are finite, they are a zero-sum game. If someone has more, then someone else has less. It is in no way selfish to consider one's own needs before helping others. Neither is it selfish to give only what one can afford or refrain from giving at all if there is nothing to spare. As stated in airplane safety procedures, remember to secure your own oxygen mask first before assisting others.

How long did it take this adult reader to catch on to the thrust of this Christmas story? Maybe two minutes.
Sure, it's an animal tale, with a brown bird (Little Robin) as the main character.
But when you watch him giving away all seven of his warm vests, giving them away one at a time, giving them to the needy (his friends), many of us adults will recognize a familiar story.
It's a story of selflessness, renunciation, putting oneself last. Historically, words for this kind of life don't apply to robins or frogs, etc. These words apply to very devout humans, specifically to:
* Monks
* Nuns
* Renunciates
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Santa Claus, clearly (to me, at any rate) seems to be a stand-in for Jesus. He gives special attention to Little Robin. In this story, btw, the Santa character isn't an elf, nor a Son of God, but a man:
"I'm very proud of you," said the main with a smile.
"You gave away all your warm clothes to help others. You are full of the spirit of Christmas."
For All Readers Who Find this Beautiful...
Such relief you may feel: So few picture books even attempt to describe "the Christmas spirit," let alone interpret it in terms of this extreme selflessness.
You're the intended audience for this book. On your behalf, I rate this uplifting story with FIVE STARS.
As for my personal reaction, I'll save that for a comment below.

Robin’s Red Breast!
PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW ON MY BLOG: http://bookreadingtic.com/2019/12/09/...
How did the Robin get his red vest and become the first sign of spring? It all started with Little Robin wanting to keep those around him warm. With his big heart, he helps all the cold friends he finds. But by coming to their aid, he doesn’t have anything left to keep himself warm. It looks like all is lost, but then, Santa steps in. With his special help, Little Robin becomes the happy, red-breasted singer that announces the cold weather is leaving, and spring is on its way!
This is a charming story that will appeal to children’s love of helping those around them, as well as, tales of Santa. The pages of this hard-backed, oversized book are full of delightful illustrations that wonderfully add to this story. What fun it will be to look for Robins in the early spring, and remember this cute tale. Children who enjoy using their imagination along with noticing the animals around them, will adore this 5-star book.
Candlewick Press has provided bookreadingtic with a complimentary copy of Little Robin’s Christmas, for the purpose of review.

Little Robin is ready for the week of Christmas with a new sweater for each chilly day. But day by day he encounters other animals in need, and eventually he has given away each of his sweaters. On Christmas Eve he is found by Santa shivering in a rooftop, and ends up with the most beautiful gift-a sweater made from a thread of Santa’s coat.
In the surface this is a nice story. Children will enjoy all of the animals, and it has a seemingly simple message about generosity and giving kindness to receive kindness. I think the lesson gets a little problematic because Robin is generous to the point where he endangers himself, and that’s not necessarily a lesson I want my kids to take away. I think it’s probably something that adults will pick up on more than kids but it just doesn’t sit with me very well. I think a nicer way to present the story could’ve had the animals who received the sweaters coming together to thank Robin, or an intervention from Santa before Robin gave away his last sweater, maybe Robin could’ve found a way to help others without giving away literally everything he owned?
My copy of the book has updated illustrations not shown on Goodreads. They’re cute with a nice use of color.

In the best Christmas spirit, each of us knows it is better to give than receive. This 'little brown bird' named Little Robin shows that spirit so easily that he ends up needing something himself. He has seven lovely vests to keep him warm in a snowy landscape and from the hints in Jan Fearnley's illustrations, Little Robyn loves them all. He first goes out to ice skate in a handsome white vest with holly on it but doesn't get far until he meets a frog, shivering. Generous Little Robin gives Frog that vest, realizing he has six more. It is a cumulative tale as you've probably already imagined, and readers watch as he wants to help others who are cold, too, and ends up giving away the remaining six. Sadly, now he's cold! There is a magical ending for Little Robin, all wrapped up with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Rudolph even makes an appearance. The Illustrations are delightful and cute, with snowy hills and red berries along with shivering animals who need some help! It's a lovely book about kindness.

Two words, Christmas spirit, can have multiple meanings depending on the context in which they are used. If we are speaking of the classic Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, ghostly visits figure into the discussion. There are those who express their enthusiasm for the season by decorating their homes, places of work and even their vehicles. They are apt to wear clothing and jewelry in keeping with celebrations. People will play, sing or hum music or songs to convey their holiday happiness.
Another indication of the Christmas spirit, which many reveal throughout the year, are acts of kindness and giving without any expectation of acknowledgement. Little Robin's Christmas (Nosy Crow, an imprint of Candlewick Press, September 10, 2019) written and illustrated by Jan Fearnley is indeed a tale representative of this holiday and its true meaning. Readers, especially readers residing in the state of Michigan, will instantly realize this as an origin story, too.

J'ai adoré le dessin et l'histoire de ce très mignon album de Noël dans lequel un petit rouge-gorge donne avec générosité toute sa collection de pulls colorés aux autres animaux jusqu'à ce qu'il se retrouve sans plus rien à mettre ! Jusqu'à ce que...
Un album qu'on peut utiliser avec des enfants en LVE pour travailler sur les couleurs notamment, et les noms des animaux de la forêt. Il a une structure répétitive qui le rend accessible !

Jan Fearnley has created a Christmas tale that is lovely and will be one all can enjoy over the holiday season. It is the tale of Little Robin as he shares his knitted vests with each animal who is cold. He eventually gives them all away and now he is cold and has nothing to warm him! The ending is so fun and one the little ones will enjoy as a special man makes an appearance! LOVED the illustrations!!

This lovely picture book should definitely go on your list of holiday books for next year. It tells the sweet story of a generous little robin who gives away all of his little sweater vests to the animals in his neighborhood that need them. When he's all out of sweaters and on the verge of freezing, Santa comes along, and knowing about his kindness, helps him out. The sweet story and gorgeous illustrations make it a terrific book to share with young children during the holidays.

Can please someone explain to me why Jan Fearnley doesn't mention Santa but instead he is referring to him as "the man with the black boots"? I don't get it! Additionally, Robin seems to give everything away in order to please and help his friends, without thinking about himself in a way where he gets only a red vest back, from "the man with the black boots". What kind of a lesson is this for kids? The pictures though and the illustration were exceptional!

November 15, 2019Weird, mine had a way better cover than the thumbnail here.
Anyway, the first page you're like oh that's a lot of text and then the next page you're like, oh this is doable. It ends up being a really cute story. It reminded me of Thank You Omu because it was also about giving away some of your stuff and then having none left and getting rescued/saved in a nice way.

This is one of those stories where you know you have read it before because it has been redone so many times. Little robin has seven vests and each day he gives one away to a friend who needs it more. In the end he is rewarded with a new vest from Santa from being so generous.

I have a hard time with the character repeatedly giving away all of his things. It's a sweet story of giving, but seriously - why do NO other animals have any other clothing? Nothing else to keep warm? It's a little frustrating.
This was neat though because it was like a folktale about how the robin got his red breast.
