Leonardo is no good at being a monster, so he decides to pick on the most timid boy he can find and scare the tuna salad out of him. Poor Sam has been having a very bad day, and Leonardo scaring him is the last straw. Sam cries, Leonardo is pleased, then the story takes a twist when Leonardo makes a big decision. The book is oversized and uses the large pages for dramatic effect with simple, effective illustrations. This book would be an excellent way to talk about bullying and friendship.
