Leonardo the Terrible Monster
By Mo Willems
An exceptional tale of an unexceptional monster -- laugh-out-loud picture-book fun from the creator of "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!"
Meet Mo Willems' latest character, Leonardo the Terrible Monster. Terrible at being a monster, that is. He doesn't have thousands of teeth, he's small, he's cute and, despite his best efforts, he can't seem to frighten anyone. Then, one day, he meets a nervous boy called Sam and finds out that being a good friend is a whole lot more rewarding than trying to scare the tuna salad out of people!
- Fresh and funny, witty and heart-warming, this energetic tale is ideal for reading aloud.
- A striking, large-format picture book, which clevery combines distinctive cartoon-style artwork, theatrical typeface, pastel palette and ingenious use of space.
- From the author of "Time to Pee!", "Knuffle Bunny", "The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog!" "Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late!" and the award-winning "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!"
