Dogzilla - Dav Pilkey

Dogzilla - Dav Pilkey

What's not to love? Giant Dogzilla terrorizing Mousopolis, cheesy puns, funny photomontages.

The Captain Underpants books never appealed, who knows why not, but Dogzilla and Kat Kong I adore. They are so silly. And the idea that Pilkey spent a bunch of time photographing his pets so he could make these pictures, that just charms me. I have been meaning to add both to my permanent collection for so long, but there was always something more pressing. But now I can wallow in the joy of ownership.

Maybe it's just that Dogzilla is played by a corgi? I'm only sorry I didn't keep better track of this one. It's fun now to look at entries from books the Offspring liked having read to them: having the actual dates makes it easier for me to picture them then. Apparently I'm getting nostalgic now that they're grown and I'm no longer sleep-deprived.
