The "Button Box" is an outstanding collection of songs with a 'round the world' flavour, ideal for classroom singing, choirs and concerts. It also doubles as a concept musical. 14 appealing songs and an Irish dance are cleverly interwoven within a play that has plenty of other dance opportunities. Presentations, in whatever form, can use all or any combination of the songs. Two children staying with their grandparents are bored on a wet day. They knock over Grandma's button box, spilling an array of buttons onto the floor. They ask Grandma to tell them where all the buttons came from, and the story behind each button is revealed in a song. Interlinking dialogue reveals some interesting family history, well travelled relatives and Grandad's failed diet attempts! Song styles and 'flavours' include: Australian Aborigine, Chinese, Jamaican, African, American, Indian and Irish, as well as music hall, pop and sea shanty.
