I like this book and it’s message, but it’s a bit odd. I thought based on the illustrations on the cover and throughout, that it was a pair of feet attached to one body. Nope. Each leg is independent of the other (kind of). One is strait laced, clean, and neat. The other likes to be wild and crazy. But an accident will make one side see that the other side is not so bad.

Les and Ronnie were two feet who couldn't have been more different, even though they were a pair. Les liked order and quiet, Ronnie was a wild child (or foot) who liked to boogie, and wasn't always the cleanest. Sometimes there was tension between the two. But when Ronnie sprained his ankle, and had to rest, Les discovered the joys of dancing while attempting to cheer his counterpart up...

Les & Ronnie Step Out is an entertaining friendship tale, one which uses an unusual pair - two feet - to explore ideas about individual character and personality and getting along with those who are a little different from us. Children will appreciate the humor in this story, and will be entertained by the colorful, amusing artwork. Recommended to anyone looking for friendship stories for the picture-book set, especially if they prefer somewhat quirky examples of the tale type. ( )
