Funny for dog lovers, mice lovers, and just plain silliness

By P.W. Reader - May 23, 2000

I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I saw this book in the "staff recommendation" section of my local bookstore. I pulled it off the shelf and read through the whole thing. People passed by me wondering why I was chuckling, then I showed them the pictures and they laughed with me. Who would have thought that little doggie antics would wreak havoc on the poor clever innocent little mice. And all he wanted was the barbeque he was sniffing. I loved the ending too. Because of the one thing the mice didn't count on after they'd driven the devastating doggie away....get this book to find out! You'll laugh as much as I did!

Funny and clever

I first saw a copy of Dogzilla at a dog show in San Diego. It features a Cardigan Welsh Corgi on the cover. Show visitors snapped up the books in a hurry. I bought a copy and have been a Dav Pilkey fan ever since. Children LOVE this book as well as adults. Pilkey's idea of placing cut-out photos of real animal "actors" imposed on colorful, cartoonish paintings of Mousopolis really make the book appealing to little ones. His jokes are "wink-winks" above kid's heads aimed at the adult readers. Dogzilla is funny and spellbinding for little ones who want to read it again and again. If you love smart and imaginative picture books, this one is a "must have" for your collection.

Hilarious and Clever

By Kelley Hunt - September 15, 2000

This is one of the cutest juvenile books I have seen. The illustrations are hilarious. The prose is clever and melodramatic. I was laughing out loud when I read it. Highly recommended. It deserves a sequel.
