Description

Buttons, buttons, all around! In this colorful board book, the search for a lost button takes a little girl on an adventure. When the button is nowhere to be found, she and her father set out for a store filled with every imaginable kind of button—fancy buttons, funny buttons, bowls brimming with button … soup! She soon finds a suitable replacement, only to arrive home to discover the lost button on the stairs. But that’s not a problem at all. The found button is quickly stitched on to join all the other fanciful ones on her sweater. With very few words and brightly colored illustrations, this story will appeal to toddlers and pre-schoolers. The lilting text makes for a great read-aloud, while every page provides an opportunity to explore concepts, including numbers, colors, and simple prepositions.

This beautiful little board board will have your kids asking for the button jar and browsing the colours, shapes, sizes and memories that are contained within it. In simple text and illustrations that are portrayed in bright, brilliant colours, this book is perfect for little hands to hold and understand. If you have ever lost a button then you know how frustrating it can be to try and find it so you can sew it back on your beloved garment once again and feel the world is at peace.

Such a thing happened in this book. A favourite lost button vanishes and the adorable little girl searches the whole house trying to recover it so her button collection on her favourite sweater can be complete once again. Alas she was unable to find the rogue fastener. Her dad, realizing the importance of that special button to his daughter, whisks her off to the local button store where she browses through hundreds of button cards until she finds a perfect replacement. Will her lost button ever turn up? Where could it have disappeared to? Should she just give up the search and be happy with her new substitute? What would you do? One thing you should do is to read this wonderful story to find out if indeed the little girl succeeds in her mission and if the end result brings a smile to her face and contentment to her heart.
