Two human feet are total opposites: Les is organized and strait-laced; Ronnie is laid-back and adventurous. When Ronnie is injured in a skateboarding accident, Les breaks out of his comfort zone to cheer him up. The personified appendages have lots of personality, and the message is presented with a not-too-heavy foot (er...) hand. Kolb's blocky digital art is expressive and appealing.

Edmund, a ball of yarn, explores the world while safely tethered to his family and home. His parents encourage his "joy of discovery" but dislike reeling him back in (literally), which becomes more difficult as he grows. Illustrated with digitally altered pencil drawings bursting with gags and color, the funny metaphor about leaving the nest will tickle both children and caregivers.
