Button Island is a small island in Bear Lake west of Elwood City. D.W. asks Grandma Thora to take here there so that she can "live with the monkeys". However, Grandma convinces D.W. halfway there that Baby Kate needs a big sister and D.W. decides not to live there.

The real Button Island is a small island in the Hingham Bay area of the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area. The island has a permanent size of under 1-acre (4,000 m2), plus an intertidal zone of a further 116 acres (0.47 km2). It is composed of a massing of glacial till which rises to a height of 10 feet (3.0 m) above sea level. The island is managed by the town of Hingham, and access is by private boat only.[1]
The island is notable for a large oak tree, which together with several smaller oaks, cedars, and sumac cover the island. Shrub species such as bayberry and dewberry can also be found.Grasses and sea-lavender populate the inter-tidal zone.[2][3]
