Illustrated by
David Christiana.
A young narrator gives her coat buttons to six creatures, including a giant, a wizard, and an elf, who need the buttons' magical powers. She doesn't go without for long; the marvelous buttons soon reappear in her own pockets. Accompanied by distinctive, whimsical watercolors, this rhyming flight of fantasy uses playful, lilting language that praises the "megacooliferous, truly meltificent" coat.
