Leonard's makes many failed attempts to be terrifying, and finally, when he does make someone cry, it turns out that he just has lots of other problems. This would be a great book to learn about accepting differences and friendship and bullying. While it doesn't have a lot of words, the story could bring up a lot of good discussion.  coresonk | Dec 5, 2009 |  Leonardo can't seem to scare people, even though he's a monster. His solution is to find the most scaredy-cat kid ever! This picture book offers a large format with lots of space on the page, a circus-like font, and lots of color. The best of the humorous illustrations is Leonardo engaging in a satisfied little fist pump after success. The story is a pleasant tale with the moral that being a good friend is more important than changing yourself - any soppiness is mitigated by the innately hilarious drawings. Recommended for any readers K - 4. (  ) megmcg624 | Nov 30, 2009 | Merideth says: I love Mo Willem's books, the clean and simple illustrations work really well for younger readers. This is a good storytime book, because it's not too long, and it's large format enough for a crowd. (  ) YouthGPL | Nov 12, 2009 | This is about a monster who is not very scary, but wants to be. However, he realizes he would much rather have a friend. Have the kids draw a picture of their own monster. KristinWhite | Nov 12, 2009 | Adorable book about Leonardo the monster who did not succeed in scary people like normal monsters. He gets frustrated with himself, and tries to scare a little boy who is suppose to be the "easy target". In the end he makes a friend and realizes it's okay to be a nice monster... and trick his friend... only every now and then! ( ) Sarah21123 | Oct 13, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
