Your pal Mo Willems presents Leonardo the terrible monster / [text and illustrations by] Mo Willems.
Leonardo is truly a terrible monster-terrible at being a monster that is. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to frighten anyone. Determined to succeed, Leonardo sets himself to training and research. Finally, he finds a nervous little boy, and scares the tuna salad out of him! But scaring people isn't quite as satisfying as he thought it would be. Leonardo realizes that he might be a terrible, awful monster -- but he could be a really good friend.
As hard as he tries to be scary, Leonardo is terrible at being a monster. He searches until he finds someone that he can scare, but when he finds the perfect, nervous little boy, will he be able to scare him?
