Amazon.com description: Product Description: "Simple toys are best, and when they're done as well as this, simple books as well."âBulletin of the Center for Children's Books
An imaginative little boy explores the many pleasures that can be found inâand made fromâhis grandmother's button box.
NCSS-CBC Notable Children's Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies
"Chamberlain's bold linoleum cuts, with gentle color added, portray the buttons in loving detail and give the book an appropriately old-fashioned flavor."âKirkus Reviews
