For kids who find gross funny - this book has Rodzilla the monster's snot, dirty diaper smells and throw up! The kids were excited to spot legos (or lego looking toys) in the illustrations. Despite the grossness, Rodzilla is actually kind of cute, like a baby. Twist ending.

Might be fun for preschool story times. I think you could also use it with elementary school kids to talk about onomatopoeia and perspective. Do think the premise is clever and multiple reads may give it another star.

Rodzilla is a kiddie godzilla story with a humorous surprise ending- reminds me of Nighttime Ninja

This is a cute story by Rod Sanders and illustrated by Dan Santat. Probably would not be a great read aloud as the "Rodzilla" Farts and throws up. In the end we see it is a baby with his parents pretending and calling him their "little monster"

It was easy to predict where this story was headed.

Ha. Good for an older brother or sister to read about a youngster.

An enormous chubby monster is heading for the city! News crews are reporting on the disaster as the monster releases stink-ray farts. There are slime missiles of snot and even one big upset tummy effect. Hoses try to push him from the city, but it just ends in a belly flop. But the monster gets back up and continues his rampage. Until two brave people are willing to take on the disaster directly, by picking the terrible toddler up.Sanders channels Japanese monster films in his text, offering jus...

Dan Santat's illustrations are always a joy to come across in any book. They make the reading of the story that much better. Kids will love the humor, adults will know exactly where this story is going!

Any one who has a little brother or sister toddling around the house will appreciate the humor in this godzilla inspired monster tale. The giant Rodzilla wreaks havoc on the small block town of Megapolis, climbing couch cushions, knocking over towers, and releasing sink bombs at will, until his parents come in to scoop him up and out of harm's way. Set faze guns to laughter!

I read this book because it was illustrated by Dan Santat. It was cute and funny, but I'm not sure the very young will get the humor. Could be a fun read aloud the kids will at least think is silly!

Another fun read-aloud from one of my favorite authors, Rob Sanders. Rodzilla is a little 'monster' that you just have to love! The illustrations by Dan Santat are epic: funny, over-the-top pictures of Rodzilla's adventures from a toddler's point of view.

All parents think their little ones are monsters at times, and want to tell the world how wonderful their little creature is. This story blends these by using a television reporter to announce the creature's activities, while showing perspective of how large Rodzilla is compared to his toy town.Humor will be enjoyed by preschoolers. Full color illustrations, done in watercolor, pencil & Photoshop, enhance the text.

Look out or he might attack your town! His demolition capabilities are unmatched and there is no stopping the destruction in his wake. For those of us who have raised or cared for a toddler, this book is a fun reminder of the awesome chaos left by a toddler exploring his or her world. A big shout out to the illustrator who gives clever hints throughout the book as to who "Rodzilla" might be. This book gave me vague recollections of the movie, "Honey, I Blew Up the Kid!"

"Rodzilla" by Rob Sanders is a colorful, onomatopeia filled picture book that plays a child version of the popular Godzilla. This book would without a doubt captivate young minds due to the large colorful action-packed imagins, minimal text, and suspense, and a surprise ending. Furthermore, the book contains humor that is often popular with young audiences. While there may not be any lesson from this book it is cute and entertaining.

Rodzilla has invaded Megalopolis, and is terrorizing the citizens with his large size, clumsiness, snot, and tears. Each terrifying moment is reported by a Channel 15 reporter as the plump green T-Rex with his toy-like looks makes his further. All seems lost until two brave people step up. The scene pulls back into reality as Rodzilla's parents scoop their toddler up. This silly drama is nicely narrated by Rob Sanders, and accompanied by Dan Santat's expressive cartoony style. As usual, the end

Evacuate! Rodzilla is on the loose! He's crashing through the town leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. But what is really going on?So it turns out this story isn't exactly what it seems at first (view spoiler)[Rodzilla is really a baby imagining with his parents and the town is made of blocks (hide spoiler)] there are clues for those who look. See if readers can predict what's going to happen.Warning: There is a little of a gross factor in here with Rodzilla throwing up and farting and h...

There's a creature loose in the city. He's causing quite a scene. He's chubby and toothless. He's Rodzilla! Can anyone calm him down? Anyone with a toddler in their lives will enjoy this hilarious tale!

Illustrated in a style that reminds me of the "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" movie, Rodzilla tells the harrowing tale of a city under attack. The intrepid reporter for Channel 15 keeps Megalopolis up to date on the latest movements of Rodzilla as he rampages through the city. "He's the mightiest creature to ever roam the streets." And the destruction and mayhem caused by stink-rays, slime missiles, and hurled attacks leave citizens able to only "gaze in horror at his toothless grin." Dan Sa...

This was a great read. I was suckered in by the cover and the title of "Rodzilla" as it harkens to my love of Godzilla.Thought my nephew might like it, which he did when he read, re-read and asked his aunt to read it as well, but getting to read it aloud to him was utter enjoyment! the verse in which it is written, does really allow for one to read it out loud, create different personas as you read along. Anyone ever having to deal with a toddler, will see a lot of those moments throughout the b...

1 stars...bump it up to 2 just for the illustrations. Thank goodness!Have read this concept/seen this concept so many times before and knew the ending as I was only a couple of pages in. *sigh* That's when my too-adult-side kicked in (because I was slightly bored with the concept) and asked: "Where is the responsible person who should be caring for this child while he is getting sick and soiling himself and destroying the room? If he is so loved, why is he all alone?" Then I really started over-...
