Jemmy Button, a young boy who is adventurous decides to set out on a journey with a group of village men who spot him sitting on the tallest tree on the island staring at the stars like he always did. Jemmy decided to take on the adventure with the village men because he was adventurous. However, after some time, Jemmy becomes homesick and decides to travel back home to his island. The adventure allowed Jemmy to be adventurous and explore different parts of the world, and it also allowed him to travel back home. When Jemmy returned home, he was able to tell his family about the destination he explored. ( )

The book's pictures made the background stand out more in every picture rather than the people in the book. This book made you focus more on the places and what was going on in the book. The story starts off dark and then it is lightened up as the boy travels across the sea to the new world and makes discoveries. This would be a good book for children because it is in a way told from a different perspective. Like the places telling the story rather than characters as the main focus. ( )

This book was about the story of a young boy who is given the name Jemmy Button after meeting a some people from England. Jemmy leaves the South American island that he is from to live in England with the new people who want to prove that the South American villagers can be "civilized". When Jemmy arrives in England, he is introduced to upper class life style and he is taught etiquette and customs. The artwork in this book does a great job of showing how foreign everything feels for Jemmy when he first arrives in England. At first everything is drawn very differently from how Jemmy is illustrated. As Jemmy grows more accustomed to the lifestyle in England, his look resembles more of the people and things around him. Eventually, Jemmy begins to long for his homeland and sets back out to return. One of my favorite parts about this book was how it waits to reveal the longer, more detailed, version of the story. At the end, the story reveals that Jemmy Button's name is Orundellico, and he is from the islands of Tierra del Fuego. The person from England that found him was Captain Robert FitzRoy sailing on the HMS Beagle. The fact that this information was presented after we learn about Jemmy's journey allowed me to focus on how Jemmy must have felt with his growing age and changing environments. When Jemmy gets back home, he soon strips all of his clothes to identify more with the villagers. This showed me that although Jemmy left his homeland and spent half his life in England, he still feels closest to where he comes from. ( )

Jemmy Button was a based on a true story about a boy from South America that was taken in by Captain Fitzroy in 1832. Jemmy Button gets his name because the captain gives his family a pearl button in exchange for him. Jemmy gets an amazing opportunity to see the the developing world he has grown without. He is brought to England and taught proper customs and etiquette. The pictures in the book come alive as the pages turn, saying more than the words on the page. The pages give emotion to how Jemmy felt when he first went to England. Two pages are of people in blue silhouette while Jemmy stands out in a skin color. He feels different than everyone else. He quickly adapts to the new culture and everyone adores him. Soon it is time for Jemmy to go back to his home village where The captain thinks he can use Jemmy as an example and help civilize the villagers. To his surprise as soon as Jemmy realized he was back home he quickly stripped naked and decided to stay like the villagers. You know they say, "You can take the girl out the country but you can't the country out the girl." I loved this book and the illustrations really brought this book to life. ( )
