The Buttons Family: Going to the Doctor

Review also includes The Buttons Family: New Shoes, 978-1406328554, and The Buttons Family: Staying with Gran, 978-1406328608

These warm and reassuring stories are part of ‘The Buttons Family’ series but each title will happily stand alone. The stories are built around Cheryl, Charlie and Baby Lou, three children whose problem situations are common to many a young family.

From first visits to the doctor to buying new shoes to a first night away from home, the children’s worries are well captured and reassuringly resolved. Each title includes a page of stickers and the illustrations are cheerful and colourful throughout.
