On the frigid days leading up to Christmas, Robin gives away every one of his cozy vests. Santa rewards this self-sacrificing behavior with a special red vest that will keep Robin forever warm. Rosy-cheeked watercolors uphold the shirt-off-your-back morality of the tale, which overwhelms the underplayed yet more enticing explanation of "how Robin got his red breast."
