Button - Wanderlust - Adventure - Home
This humorous story tells of the longing for far-away countries and adventures; it shares the suspicion of many children that the grass is always greener on the other side. Little Button, one of six Button-brothers on a boy's Sunday-coat, is terribly bored in the dark wardrobe and decides to discover the great big world. He explores the world with the help of a dog, a mouse, a crow and fish, travelling on and under the earth, under water or up in the sky. Back home, the mother sews him back on where he belongs. And if he has not come off, he will continue to »tell his story happily ever after«. The story would lend itself to an animated cartoon. The sparse illustrations complement the text quite well. Erika Hübner-Barth is a Rumano-German writer. (5+)
