Grandma's Button Box - by Arline Kahn Julius (Paperback)

About the Book

A boy and his grandmother develop different ways to sort buttons together, having fun and learning in the process.

Book Synopsis

This book is one of those rare gems that is not only intellectually stimulating in a truly imaginative way, but also touches the reader's heart. The loving relationship between a boy and his grandmother jumps out of every page. This book provides opportunities for children to perform the tasks provided, while their parents join in. In that way, the caring relationship becomes associated with the learning experience itself.

Review Quotes

"As a professor of educational psychology and early childhood courses, I am most enthusiastic about this button story. I believe it is a perfect example of a way to help students in the early grades use familiar, everyday experiences to understand abstract concepts."
