Dogzilla by Dav Pilkey
I read this book during my child study and the kids thought it was very funny. The front covers follow the format of a movie, with a "starring" section and a section that explains the rating; it is rated EG for Extremely Goofy, some material may be too goofy for grown-ups. This book uses real pictures of animals which I think is one of the reasons that kids are attracted to it. In the town of Mousopolis, the mice are having a barbecue when the smell attracts Dogzilla and the only way to get rid of him is to give him a bath. This is a good book for adults to read with children because there are a lot of puns that I think adults would enjoy. The book even has a hilarious ending; the next year at the barbecue the smell attracts Dogzilla again but this time there are puppies!! If you love dogs like I do, then you will love this book. It is a great way to get kids reading. This really is a good book for all ages.
