Rufus the Scrub Does Not Wear a Tutu

64 pp. | Darby Creek | March, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58196-060-0 $14.95
(3) 1-3 Illustrated by John Margeson. Rufus is involved in both football and ballet. He takes a lot of verbal abuse from his coach and teammates until his skills at the barre translate into winning on the field. The book's message is delivered in a simple, straightforward way. There is plenty of football action to sustain fans, and the ballet scenes are funny without poking fun.
