Summary
Oliver Button Is a Sissy by Tomie dePaola
Oliver would rather sing, dance or do artwork than play ball games, which makes him the subject of ridicule among the other kids at school. But, Oliver is steadfast about following his heart and becoming a star, so he learns to tap dance. In addition to the author’s clear purpose, this book is a good fit for lessons on retelling and summarizing, making connections and making inferences.
