Oliver Button is a Sissy
Individuality rules is the theme of this story wherein 'unsporty' Oliver is sent to dancing school 'for the exercise' his father insists. There he discovers the delights of tap dancing to the disgust of the other boys who tease him relentlessly. Undaunted, Oliver enters a talent contest and though he doesn't win first prize he does succeed in winning the respect of his classmates. Charming three-colour illustrations amplify the text.
