William wakes up and realizes it is spring.  He is excited to bake a cake for his bird friends who return in the spring, so one by one he wakes up his hibernating friends from their long nap.  Each friend contributes to cleaning and baking when they wake, except for Raccoon who shirks his duty.  When the birds arrive, all the animals decide to forgive Raccoon and they have a picnic together.  

This book is written in adorable rhyming text.  The illustrations are expressive and appealing.  There is also a good lesson on forgiveness and doing your share of the work.  

Reviewer, C. Peterson
