I had to read this because Leonardo, the Terrible Monster has always been a hit during storytimes and Leonardo makes an appearance in this book.
Summary: One day Sam, the most scaredy-cat kid in the whole world, makes a terrifying discovery. It's not Frankenthaler the monster. It's her friend-Kerry! Kerry, the second most scaredy-cat kid in the whole world, also makes a terrifying discovery. It's not Leonardo the monster. It's his friend-Sam! "AAAAH!" yells Sam. "EEEEK!" yells Kerry. Something has to be done. Something BIG. But what?
Age Range: 5-6 years
"Sam had no idea what he should do! Kerry had no idea what she should do! So, they had that in common."
This book has a very similar structure, but I must admit wasn’t as great as Leonardo, the Terrible Monster. Nevertheless, I still think this is a cute book to read to children because of the lessons in this book. And I would definitely recommend it to those who are absolute Mo Willems fans.
We can all be scaredy-cats and we can all be different, but still get along and collaborate to scare the monsters in each other's lives. Everyone is afraid of something, but then we realize we are much of the same and what is different is non-threatening.
The same illustrations and characters offer a comforting familiarity to Mo Willems fans.
