Buttons by Brock Cole

From chapters.ca:
When the porcine parent’s buttons pop off after a gluttonous feast, he retreats to his bed in despair. It’s up to his less-than-cerebral wife to ask her children for solutions, which are as imaginative as a young reader could hope. The eldest offers to parade the streets in her finery hoping to attract a button-laden husband; the middle daughter wants to join the army and pull some buttons off her uniform; the youngest thinks running through the fields hoping to catch buttons falling from the sky will do the trick. As in all great fairy tales, love and young men lurk around the corner in each story.
