Customer Reviews

One of our favorites!

My 6 year old loves this book and has for almost 2 years. The story is charming, well written and I love the out of the ordinary subject of a couple discovering companionship and love in the later years of life. The illustrations are wonderful and I don't mind reading it over and over (and over and over!).

Great book! Beautiful illustrations and lovely story.

Crescent Dragonwagon weaves a charming tale of the journey one brass button takes in a years time. She also gives the reader insight into a charming neighborhood with eccentric characters and a sweet romance between two of its elderly neighbors. The illustrations alone could hold a child's interest, but I think the story is most apporpriate for primary grade children.
