BIBLIOGRAPHY: Schertle, Alice. 2009. Button Up! Ill. by Petra Mathers. New York, NY: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing. ISBN 9780152050504
PLOT SUMMARY: Poems, from the clothes point of view, talk about their animal owners.
CRITICAL ANALYSIS:
Articles of clothing come to life to discuss their animal owners in the collection of rhyming poems. Mather's illustrations are indeed whimsical, depicting a girl mouse wearing undies and an little boy alligator in pajamas. Rhythm and meter is easily detected in these rhyming poems.
