Fairy tale of sorts, in which Lady Winter tries to stop spring from coming by knitting a blanket of sleep for Sister Spring. Various animals attempt to foil her plans (resulting in their getting various characteristics like the skunk's white stripe or the bear's winter hibernation) until finally Robin is successful. Illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and bring the story to life.

I loved this story! It was so good. It was a myth in that it tells you all the reasons a robin has the features it does and other animals too. There are 2 sisters: Winter and Spring. Winter doesn't want to go back to sleep, so she enchants Spring to stay asleep and not wake up. Robin sees this and goes about trying to wake up Spring.
The art here is lovely and warm. The kids enjoyed it, although it was a bit long. This was a hit in our house.

It has always been inevitable. The seasons change: summer into autumn, autumn into winter, winter into…
Winter into more winter, if Lady Winter has anything to do with it. She does not want Sister Spring to awaken because it would mean her beautiful white snow and ice crystals would melt and the silence that a fresh snow brings would be halted for months. No, better to leave things as they are now, to Lady Winter’s liking. And to do that, she must make sure that Sister Spring continues to slumber.
How Robin Saved Spring is about the changing of the seasons and how Lady Winter wants to stop the change. Lady Winter is close to getting her way but the animals start to understand what is happening and they try to wake and warn Sister Spring. The biggest and smallest creatures do not succeed but maybe Robin will be the one to make a difference.
It is full of whimsical illustrations. Beautiful illustrations.
How Robin Saved Spring is a very cute book about saving spring and how various animals and insects came to hibernate and/or bed down for the winter.
Recommended for older children because it is wordier than other picture books. I would say five to ten years of age.
