Books we love: Leonardo the Terrible Monster

Leonardo is a terrible monster.  He just isn't as scary or as weird as the other monsters and no matter what he does, he just can't scare anyone.  Until he meets a little kid called Sam and scares the tuna salad out of him.  Leonardo then realises that he doesn't mind being a terrible monster if it means that he can be a good friend.

Written by Mo Willems (who has a bunch of other fantastic books that we adore as well), this book is a great story of how it is better to be a friend to someone than to be a terrible scary monster, well most of the time.

This book has made a lasting impression in our little family with the expression "scare the tuna salad out of you" making its way into our vernacular!
