Dogzilla

When barbecue smells drift over Mousopolis's first cook-off, they awaken Dogzilla — a monstrous, horribly stinky mutt — and the terrified mice must find a way to save their city.

For the kid who thinks giant-monster movies and dog breath jokes belong in the same book, Dogzilla delivers both at once.

• Big idea: Even the biggest, stinkiest threat can be outsmarted by a town that sticks together.
• Vibes: Goofy, gross-out, monster-movie energy with tongue-in-cheek humor throughout.

• enjoy monster spoofs and giant-creature silliness
• love gross, stinky humor
• like to act out chaotic rescue scenes
• respond well to funny illustrations over long text

• Story & problem-solving: What do you think woke Dogzilla up in the first place?
• Imagination: If a giant stinky dog showed up in your town, what would you do first?
• Feelings & empathy: How do you think the mice of Mousopolis felt when they saw Dogzilla coming?
• Real-life connection: Have you ever smelled something so good it made you come running, just like Dogzilla did?
• Story & problem-solving: What ideas do you think the mice might have tried to get rid of Dogzilla?
