Average rating
The second in a fantastic series of animal stories for younger readers by Waterstones Children's Book Prize-shortlisted author Helen Peters, with beautiful black-and-white illustrations by Ellie Snowdon. Jasmine's dad is a farmer, and her mum is a large-animal vet, so Jasmine spends a lot of time caring for animals and keeping them out of trouble. Unfortunately, this often means she gets into hot water herself... When a nesting duck is killed in a terrible accident, Jasmine and her best friend Tom rescue the eggs and try to hatch them in an incubator. It's a risky business but soon Button is running around, getting into scrapes. Until the day he gets into a scrape with no escape... Brilliant storytelling that will make you laugh and cry, this is Dick King-Smith for a new generation. Perfect for readers aged seven and up. Check out Jasmine's other adventures: A Piglet Called Truffle, A Duckling Called Button, A Sheepdog Called Sky and many more!

Button

Button was soooooo cute I can’t believe Bella Bradley’s dog Rupert killed Buttons mum

It was quite scary when Button ran into the fire, but at least he was ok and Jake managed to save him. I really liked it when Button made a new friend who was a lamb called Betty.

This story was about a duckling called Button. He lives in Jasmine's bedroom. I like this story because at the end it was a bit funny.

Mademoiselle Bunny Pumpernickel 16.07.2021
I thought that this book was magnifcient. It was sad that Petal died but Button definitely made up for it. So much had happened to both Jasmine and Button in just a short amount of time. A fire, dead mallard, eggs, Bella Bradley... My faviroute charcter is Button and Tom. I like Button because she warned everyone about the fire and survived so much including being thrown by Bella Bradley. Also, she made Betty well again and turned her from a weak, suffering lamb to a strong, healthy lamb in no time. I like Tom because he stopped Jasmine from going into the fire even though she really wanted too. At least he had some sense. I reccomend this book to everyone as it is awesome and amazing!

This is a book about what happens after a mummy duck gets killed in a bad accident. I particularly love stories about animals so look forward to reading more in this set. I recommend it to others who also like books about animals.
