Don't Let the Pigeon Go To LACMA



If you have kids in the 3- to 6-year-old range, surely you're familiar with the works of Mo Willems.

If not, get thee to a library or book store quickly. Willems' different book series have become a favorite of the Blogger Preschooler. Evan has delighted to best pals Elephant & Piggie, the mischievous Pigeon, and the relatable Knuffle Bunny (and Knuffle Bunny Too).

Now, bring your tykes to LACMA on Sunday, Oct. 12. Yet another Willems creation, "Leonardo the Terrible Monster," will be re-created by actors, reciting the parts.

In case you're not familiar with the book:
Leonardo is truly a terrible monster—terrible at being a monster, that is. Despite his best efforts, he can't seem to frighten anyone. But when he discovers the perfect nervous little boy, will Leonardo finally scare the tuna salad out of him? Or will he think of something even better?

Event takes place at 3 p.m. on Oct. 12 at LACMA's North Piazza. Best part: It's free. So even if it's not as cool as it sounds, no matter: You took your kid to the museum. Bonus parenting points for you.
