Rufus, a blue eight-fingered monster, loves to dance but is afraid to enter a monster ballroom dancing competition because he has two left feet. Predictably, he wins the contest--dancing with a partner who sports two right feet. The smiling monsters in this garish picture book lack subtlety of expression and posture.
