Dogzilla

Dogzilla
By: Dav Pilkey
Age Level: 6-9
Reading Level: Beginning Reader

What will the inhabitants of Mousopolis do when invaded by Dogzilla, the larger-than-life (but harmless looking) pooch? Can they reclaim their town before it's chewed to bits? Collages using photographs and paintings illustrate this zany parody of old horror films. Those who enjoy Dogzilla may also appreciate Kat Kong (Harcourt, 1993); the titles tell it all!

"I find Reading Rockets very useful both as a youth services librarian at a public library, and as a parent of a child with a language-based learning disability."
