Two Left Feet
Rufus loves to dance. And like the other monsters in the great big castle, he spends a lot of time dancing disco style. But he has two left feet! Every time he starts to dance, he ends up falling on his little blue face. So when a dance competition is announced, his more agile friends leave him alone and without a partner. But no squirmy creature or google-eyed monster can predict what will happen when he meets a girl with two right feet! Readers will want to dance right along with the wacky characters in this charming book about what can happen when you meet your perfect match.

This is a really cute book with great positive messages. This may be the only book I've ever read that has no conflict in it and yet is still a great book.
There are a bunch of monsters that live under a palace. They love to dance and so they get together every night. When a ball is announced they all go to the contest to see who will win the invitation. Every monster has their own dance moves, and each is good in their own way, even Rufus. Rufus had two left feet, so whenever he dances he falls down, but his friends help him up and call his dance move the Wallop. Knowing that he can't win the contest, he goes to watch his friends. He brings with another monster who can't dance either. When the dancing begins each of the monsters fall into a great laughing pile. None of them have ever danced with a partner before and so they end up a jumbled mess. Rufus and his friend decide that they can't do any worse since that's how he dances anyway. But when they start dancing they each hold each other up and the pair ends up winning the contest...because she has...two right feet.
It's a nice story with funny drawings that are full of things to look at. They keep my kid's attention and they keep asking for this book over and over. I got it at the library and will have to go find my own copy soon.
It's a great read-aloud for teachers and parents. Ages 1-12.

The cover doesn't look that appetizing, but the story is actually fun. I saw the ending ahead of time, but it was still fun when we got there.
