About The Book
Catch the latest breaking news as a toddler terrorizes the city in this riotous picture book that reads like a kid-friendly monster movie with energetic art by Caldecott Medal–winning illustrator Dan Santat.
Wobble-wobble-wobble. Toddle-CLUNK.
What’s that smell? Rodzilla is shooting…stink-rays! Ack! Only a mother could love such a creature.
Rodzilla is the mightiest toddler to ever roam the streets of the city. Marvel at the site of his chubby monstrosity. Gaze at his toothless grin. Take a whiff of his…wait, no, don’t do that.
Rodzilla is taking over the city (his playpen) and causing all sorts of chaos for its inhabitants (his parents). Can he be stopped before he toddles too far? Told as an action-packed news report, kids will laugh out loud following Rodzilla on his mighty tear through the city, and ultimately back to his parents’ arms. Because sometimes even monsters need a little help.
