Rodzilla
Checking Availibility...Description
This just in! There's a Rodzilla on the loose! Is he a monster...or just your typical toddler? Tune in for the full report in this riotous picture book from Rob Sanders and Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat.
Rodzilla is the mightiest toddler to ever roam the streets of the city. Marvel at the sight of his chubby monstrosity. Gaze at his toothless grin. Take a whiff of his...no, don't do that. Only a mother could love such a creature.
Rodzilla is taking over the city (that is really his playpen) and causing all sorts of chaos for its inhabitants (um, his parents). Can he be stopped before he toddles one step too far? Told as an action-packed news report, kids will love following Rodzilla on his mighty tear through the city, and ultimately back to his parents' arms. Because sometimes even monsters need a little help.

Reviews
"Young listeners will enjoy the story's over-the-top humor, while slightly older kids will have fun matching the Megalopolis sites with Rod's toys. Give this to fans of Aaron Reynolds' Here Comes Destructosaurus!"
"Sanders's faux horror and Santat's exuberant, richly colored spreads pour on the mayhem. Don't read this aloud anywhere kids are expected to stay quiet."
"Kids will gravitate to Santat's marvelously clever and animated illustrations...An engaging and humorous picture book for young children and their parents to share together."
