Button Up!: Wrinkled Rhymes

(1) K-3 Illustrated by Petra Mathers. Fifteen adroitly phrased rhymes, voiced by pieces of clothing, reflect children's amiable relationships with these intimate possessions. Schertle's contagiously rhythmic, playful verse is perfectly reflected in the art (full-page alternating with lively vignettes). From delicately comical to downright funny, Mathers brings her signature style to endearing watercolors of the various animals who stand in for children.
