Oliver Button Is a Sissy

by Tomie Depaola

Oliver Button Is a Sissy Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A little boy must come to terms with being teased and ostracized because he’d rather read books, paint pictures, and tap-dance than participate in sports. “There is a good balance between the simple text . . . and the expressive pictures . . . an attractive little book.”--School Library Journal

Synopsis:

Oliver Button would rather read, dance, and draw pictures than play football like the other boys. His classmates' taunts don't stop him from doing what he likes best, and his practice and persistence pay off in the end--when Oliver Button is a star. Illustrated.
