Synopsis
Leonardo, a dainty little monster, is having a really difficult time scaring anyone. So small that he's practically boy-sized, Leonardo has round, blue eyes, diminutive horns, and fawn-colored fur--not exactly a picture of fear and loathing. Certainly not like Tony, an enormous, pink monster with six rows of teeth, or even Eleanor, a positively gigantic creature sporting pearls. But when he happens upon Sam, a little boy just the right size, Leonardo finds the opportunity to be really terrifying. But will it work? Accompanied by a landscape of blue, beige, green, and pink, this picture book is heavier on illustrations than words. By the author of the bestselling picture books KNUFFLE BUNNY and DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS. A 2005 School Library Journal Best Book.

Industry Reviews
"Bravo!"
Kirkus (07/15/2005)
"[A]n 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 suggest trying kindness to get attention."
