I wanted to comment, though, that while this is not how things worked out for them, this book could easily have been written as an autobiographical account of events for one of my dearest friends - indeed, my highschool sweetheart - who was a dancer, singer and actor with thick, long, wavy hair ... Oh boy, did he attract more than his fair share of teasing and bullying all the way through to our final year of high ...

Rating: - ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD BOOKS !!!I identified with this book so much as a kid, and i still do now as I read it to my own children. My mother was always scared to read it to me because she knew I was a little "different" and didn't want to encourage it, but i took a solace in it.... and Oliver Button was my hero. I wanted to be his friend, Because, through this simple book, he was my friend. This is an excellent story for pre-k-2nd graders. It is a step beyond the simplicity of Todd Parr, but they ... Read More Rating: - A Great Story for Self-WorthThis book describes how Oliver is happy, not playing sports like all the other boys, but taking dance lessons. His parent support him, but at school, he is called a sissy. After a community talent show, which Oliver does not win, his schoolmates realize he is a winner. Oliver stuck with his dreams and desires, against the odds. To me, this story is great for kids, as it illustrates how to stick with something if it is what you desire. It has a great message for children as well as care-givers. The illustrations ... Read More
