Standard story-time fare at the local children's museum

We've heard this one so often we almost are forgoing getting our own copy :) (I did say almost - I intend to get one of our Very Own as soon as I remember!)

I do agree with a previous poster that the moral of the story seems to be "If you're really bad at scaring people, you should quit your day job and start being nice", but I don't agree that every story should have a moral. This one, therefore, is more like a cute story that ends on a nice note, with no moral needing to be attached.

Such a cute book

I decided to get this book when I saw Julia Roberts reads it to her kids. It is such a cute book. My kids love it too. There's a part where he says "scare the tuna salad out of him" and I just think that's great. It's really cute. Littles ones would love this book.

excellent book!

I didn't know what to expect, and it far surpassed my imagination! My 6 year old autistic Granddaughter LOVES Leonardo!

For your little monster

Leonardo the Terrible Monster is another wonderful book by Mo Willems. I purhcased this book to help my two year old daughter conquer her fear of Monsters. I recognized the author's name and trusted she would appreciate this book as much as she had the others by Willems, and she did. The book is large, but most of the pages are blank with muted tones of grays and blues. The color pallet creates a calm feeling which is nice considering the subject matter. The illustrations are adorably detailed and offer many opportunities for exploration and interaction between the audience and the characters. The book tells the story of Leonardo, a monster who is terrible at being a monster. All he wants to do is be horrifically terrifiying, but instead he discovers his ability to be a wonderful friend. My daughter loves this book, and without ever directly discussing it, she is no longer afraid of monsters, instead, she believes monsters are our friends. Parents can use this book to help their toddlers overcome the negative connotation of the word "monster" by putting a face, adorable Leondardo, to the word.
