Format:Hardcover
This book just great . It has my childhood summed up completely. Their are few books which deal with being a boy in the rough word, as well as this one .You see oliver B. doesn't like basket ball,or volley ball, or any kind of ball .So he ends up going to tap dance classes. Well, after a lot of teasing there is a talent show in which he ...loses! There is a really neat end to the story though. I read it to my Year 2 class every year.

It's OK to be Different! 23 Jun 2002
By Jeffrey Jones - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an excellent book that confronts gender stereotypes and the importance of accepting people for who they are. Oliver Button does not engage in the traditional activities that boys do, and thus, he is faced with repercussions and consequences (based on how others feel Oliver should behave/act). I teach fourth grade and - though a picture book - it is the ideal book to discuss self-confidence and diversity and the significance of accepting individuals while recognizing their accomplishments and contributions.

This book teaches an important lesson! 2 May 2000
By Dawn Warner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
In this day and age of name calling and teasing, this is an important book to have around to teach children some important values. Oliver Button is a boy who likes to do things that not "all other boys" do such as dance. The other boys at school often tease him and call him names. Even his own father thinks he should do more "boy things". However, Oliver proves that he has his own talents and he is a star for being himself and doing what he likes to do and what he is good at. If you are familiar with Tomie DePaola's other works, this is yet another one of his fantastic books for children.

Wonderful, a very special book 3 Feb 2002
By Sara Krepp - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I watched a special on TV about this book. It's a story about a little boy who gets picked on and eventually finds good things about himself. It was similar to what my nephew experiences in school. He is a boy who loves playing with the girls and isn't real "tough", so he has a hard time with some kids. This book was wonderful for him to read. I sent it to him through amazon. He got it in the mail, read it that night and then took it to school and read it to the class the very next day! He brought home a special award for sharing such a wonderful book! I think all teachers should share this with their classrooms and use it as a way to address bullying!
