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.
