This is one of those not scary monster books. The story goes like this, nobody is afraid of Leonardo so he finds the most easily scared kid and after he is not able to scare that boy either, he decided to become his friend instead, since the boy doesn't have any friends.
I don't think it was easy for my kids to follow the story line, as they expected something scary to happen since a monster is involved. Boys like the scary stuff and it seemed a bit of a disappointment in those regards. Also, the book used some wording that a three year old might not get yet.
The book is not scary at all. It is not really funny either. I guess the best thing I can pull out of it is that friendships are more important than being good at what you do and that is something valuable to always be remembered.
The graphics look very modern. There are many pages that are 80% blank with just the graphics in one corner and the writing in the other. Or another page where the writings are in big letters and make up the background of the pages.
This book made it only into our so so list. It is nice and well done, but there are better ones out there.
