Dogzilla is a super fun children's picture book created by Dav Pilkey. It was first published in 1993. This book is a funny version of the famous movie Godzilla. Instead of a giant lizard, it features a huge Cardigan Welsh Corgi dog!
About the Book
Dogzilla tells the story of a giant dog who causes chaos. It's a playful take on classic monster movies. The book is known for its unique artwork and silly humor.
The Creator and His Art
Dav Pilkey wrote and drew all the pictures for Dogzilla. He is also famous for creating the Captain Underpants series. For Dogzilla, Pilkey used a special technique. He took real photographs of animals, including his own pets. Then, he changed these photos and added paint to them. This made the pictures look very unique and exciting.
A Funny Rating
As a joke, Dogzilla has a special rating: "EG." This stands for "Extremely Goofy." It's a fun way to show how silly and lighthearted the book is.
A Sequel to Another Parody
Dogzilla is actually a follow-up book. It came after another one of Pilkey's funny stories called Kat Kong. Kat Kong was a parody of the classic movie King Kong. So, if you liked Kat Kong, you'll probably love Dogzilla too!
