저녁을 너무 많이 먹은 아버지가 난로 앞에 앉아 있을 때, 그만 바지가 터지면서 바지의 단추들이 튕겨져 나가 난로 속으로 들어가 버렸습니다. 졸지에 단추들을 잃게 된 아버지는 부인을 부르고, 부인은 세 딸에게 도움을 청합니다. 큰 딸은 멋진 옷을 차려 입고 부자를 유혹해서 결혼을 한 후 단추들을 보내주겠다고 하고, 둘째 딸은 남자 차림으로 군에 입대해서 군복에 달려 있는 수많은 단추들을 아빠에게 보내주겠다고 합니다. 그런데 셋째 딸은 강가에 나가서 앞치마를 펼치고 하늘에서 떨어지는 단추들이 받아서 아빠에게 주겠다고 합니다. 셋째 딸의 계획은 황당한 것이지만, 첫째와 둘째 딸의 계획이 그럴듯 했기 때문에 엄마는 모두 좋은 계획이라고 칭찬을 해줍니다. 그런데 세 딸들의 계획은 당초 생각대로 맞아 떨어지지를 않네요. 큰 딸은 멋진 옷을 차려 입고 다리 위에서 서성거리다 강도를 만나 지갑까지 털리고 강물에 빠지지만 뱃사공의 도움으로 살아난 후 그와 결혼을 해서 외국으로 떠나게 되고, 군에 들어간 둘째 딸은 전쟁터에서 부상을 입은 군인을 돌봐주다가 서로 사랑에 빠지게 됩니다. 셋째 딸은 아무리 앞치마를 펼치고 하늘을 쳐다봐도 나무단추 하나 하늘에서 떨어지지를 않습니다. 하지만 셋째딸의 모습네 반한 목동은 좋은 꾀를 생각해 내고...

From the Publisher
When a father eats so much that he pops the buttons off his britches, each of his three daughters tries a different plan to find replacements.
Publishers Weekly
A series of farcical mishaps steadily ups the comedy in Cole's (Alpha and the Dirty Baby) brightly polished romp. After their portly father eats so much that his britches burst and his buttons fly into the fire, three daughters concoct plans to find replacements. Setting off to snare a man who will fall in love with her and give her his buttons, the eldest encounters a "band of ruffians" who tip her over the balustrade of a bridge. She ends up marrying the handsome bargee who rescues her and realizes only much later that she has forgotten to ask for even one button ("She decided she would send her father a postcard instead"). The second girl disguises herself as a man and joins the army, intending to give her father the gold buttons from her new uniform. But her regiment is whisked off to battle, and when a brave young ensign is wounded, she tears off her jacket to make bandages ("Many buttons were lost and destroyed in the process, but who could think of buttons at a time like this?"). It falls to the youngest daughter to save the day, although her plan is the most harebrained of them all. Busy, hyperbolic pictures limn an appealing old-world setting. In his words and pictures, Cole treats the ridiculous characters with affection, not mockery, inviting readers into the story to laugh right along with them.
School Library Journal
Three sisters come to their father's aid when the buttons on his britches pop into the fire. The eldest offers to search for a husband who will sacrifice his buttons in exchange for her hand in marriage. The second enlists in the army disguised as a boy to acquire the uniform buttons, and the youngest decides to run in the meadow with her apron extended to catch any buttons that may fall from the sky. Nothing goes quite as the feckless girls had foreseen, yet all three eventually find their own true loves and the youngest even manages to collect an apron full of buttons. This engaging yarn has the cadence and language of a traditional story and sometimes implores readers to answer rhetorical questions and commiserate with the characters. Watercolor illustrations that often flow across double pages place the action in the early 19th century and are littered with Dickensian figures and sprinkled with droll details. All of the characters have distinctive personalities and the plot, while having many predictable folktale elements, contains enough twists to surprise and delight. Well suited to both individual reading and group sharing, this charming combination of romance, adventure, and mirth might be difficult to buttonhole but is easy to enjoy.
Booklist
Cole's range, empathy, and imagination continue to astonish. This puckishly perfect picture book immediately insinuates itself into the heart. A very well fed paterfamilias bursts his buttons, and they pop into the fire. Literally undone, he takes to his bed, and his wife calls on their three daughters. The eldest decides to walk upon the Palace Bridge in her finest finery so that a rich man will fall in love with her and give her buttons. The second daughter vows to join the army, for everyone knows soldiers' uniforms have buttons to spare. The youngest, after much thought, decides to run about the meadow with her apron open, the better to catch buttons that fall from the sky. The eldest is set upon and tossed into the river, from which she's rescued by a bargeman whom she marries. The second daughter, sent to the front, rescues a young ensign and marries him. The youngest daughter, who has charmed a cowherd, is the one who actually manages to bring home the buttons, but perhaps not in the way she expected. It all ends with their wedding feast: the elder sisters return with spouses (and a babe), and the father neatly done up with a set of slightly used buttons. The cowherd mysteriously lacks same, but it is "a small fault and seems to run in the family." The language sparkles and begs to be read aloud. Adults will cheer the exquisitely detailed, vivacious line that delineates the characters in their vaguely eighteenth-century dress; children will find that the translucent color washes depict silks and water, ships and castles, battles and feasts with equal vibrancy.
Kirkus Reviews
An original fairy tale from Cole that already seems classic, constructed on the time-honored and satisfying three-part structure. Three daughters are given a chance to (literally) button up the damage done when their father overeats to the point of bursting his buttons, which pop into the fire and burn. ``Wife, wife! We are undone!'' he cries; that good woman rushes to seek her daughters' advice. The eldest proposes to find a rich man who will give her replacement buttons in exchange for her hand; the second will join the army to gain the uniform buttons; the youngest will run through the meadows holding out her apron to catch any buttons that may fall from the sky. Cole's wittily wry voice meshes beautifully with his 17th-century images as he records the failure of the two older daughters through no fault in their plans, but because their plans' underlying romance leads them to lose sight (again, literally) of buttons. Although apparently foolish, the youngest daughter's plan succeeds due to the love-smitten efforts of a clever cowherd who has seen her dashing through the meadows. Readers will spot the cowherd at his wedding feast at book's end, where ``he doesn't seem to have enough buttons.'' The youngest daughter, his new bride, thinks this ``a small fault [that] seems to run in the family.'' A blithe tumble through the land of folklore, from a writer whodespite some evidence to the contrarystill loves a happy ending.
Children's Literature
Brock Cole's Buttons is an original tale that weds classic fairy tale themes of the fool hero and the siblings searching for success. Cole turns pen and brush to sophisticated illustration and word play to create a picture book that lifts both spirit and mind. His tale begins with a man who has popped his buttons and seeks help from his daughters who are willing, if not intellectually able. The eldest plans to dress up and request a button dowry from the rich man she snags with her beauty. The second daughter will join the army for surely you have noticed that a soldier's uniform has many, many buttons. The youngest decides to run in the meadows with her apron open so that if any buttons should fall from the sky, I will catch them before they get lost in the tall grass. Of course all three daughters marry happily and the youngest satisfies her father's need, fulfilling both fairy tale tradition and reader satisfaction. It takes an older child to admire the rollicking word play, the genius of the story's structure, and a sense of humor more satirical than overt. Like stand-up comics, this author shows a perfect sense of timing and succeeds with both smiles and stages. For success in the battle with stress, choose a few appropriate funny books like this for children, read at least one daily or when needed to immediately improve sour moods. |
