Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
Caldecott Honor winner Mo Willems creates another outstanding picture book, this time starring a wannabe “terrible monster” who switches gears after his mission to scare an unsuspecting boy doesn’t work. With simple text and uncomplicated illustrations that capture kids’ emotions perfectly, Willems’s story offers monster-sized giggles while teaching about understanding and friendship. It's a can’t-miss addition to your child’s bookshelf.
Poor Leonardo! Despite his horns, tail, and pea-green fur, this diminutive monster can't scare anyone, which could have something to do with how darn cute he is. Droll cartoons by the creator of Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! chronicle Leonardo's shift from seeking the world's most skittish kid to "scare the tuna salad out of" to pursuing a new goal: "Instead of being a terrible monster, he would become a wonderful friend." And he does. (ages 2 to 4)Child magazine's Best Children's Book Awards 2005
From The Critics
Picture books commonly suggest that monsters, like certain bullies, are insecure and make marvelous playmates. Pint-size Leonardo, a case in point, is "a terrible monster" because "he couldn't scare anyone." As he roars, two people exchange patronizing smiles, and a circus-style, curly-serif typeface implies silly humor rather than danger. Like a Muppet, Leonardo is knee-high with olive-drab fur, a monkey's tail, a pink nose and tiny white horns. "He didn't have 1,642 teeth, like Tony," a six-mouthed purple guy (a footnote explains, "Not all teeth shown"), and "he wasn't big, like Eleanor," whose clawed feet (one sporting a pearl ankle bracelet) barely fit in the spread. Leonardo decides to pick on someone his own size, but when he successfully startles a moping boy, the child begins to wail about a broken toy in inch-tall italics that fill two pages. Leonardo decides that "instead of being a terrible monster, he would become a wonderful friend," and dispenses a consoling hug. Willems's (Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!) finale feels apt but syrupy; Leonardo's decision to be nice seems homiletic. Yet this is an appealing book, sketched in dark brown against grayish pastel backdrops, with evergreen lettering and highlighted key words. Leonardo accurately mimics a child's frustration at not being taken seriously; Willems suggests trying kindness to get attention. Ages 3-6. (Sept.) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

    My 2 1/2 year old thinks Leonardo is HILARIOUS!

    This book is really fun read out loud. My son is 2 1/2 and cracks up every read. The story is sweet, silly and relevant and my son likes the illustrations as well. I have only two complaints about this book. It is large in size and a bit awkward for him to handle and for reading in bed. The font is kind of odd and makes some of the letters hard for him to recognize and on one page the words are white on a pink background so they don't stand out very well. On this particular page the words disappear into the center fold a bit as well. Over all we love this book!

    Another Mo Willems homerun!

    Every Mo Willems children book is worth a read. His books are a great addition to a children's library including this one. The sweet message and fun graphics make this book a favorite of my 2.5 year old.
