Willems, Mo Sam the Most Scaredy-Cat Kid in the Whole World.
PICTURE BOOK. Hyperion, 2017. $17.99.
Sam is scared of basically everything
except his monster friend, Leonard. One day Sam and Leonard run into Kerry (the
2nd most scaredy-cat kid in the world) and her monster friend, Frankenthaler, and
Sam and Kerry both decide they are terrified of each other. The monsters leave
them to settle this one on their own and the two kids eventually discover they
have a lot in common. Rather than be scared of each other, they decide to be
friends.
Considering the prequel to this book, "Leonardo the Terrible
Monster," is one of my favorite books EVER, I knew I would enjoy this
book. And I did. Its a short and simple story that has great illustrations and
will appeal to kids of all ages. That being said, the story is not as strong as
"Leonardo" but still fun. You cannot go wrong with Mo Willems and my
preschooler is still asking for this book almost every day.
