""Clements brings readers on board right away...providing plenty of inspiration for making kaiju haiku of their own."" -Publishers Weekly

A clever boy comes to the rescue when a sick Kaiju needs help explaining that he feels unwell in this comics-style picture book--perfect for future fans of Dog Man and The Bad Guys.

A giant kaiju (think Godzilla!) awakes one morning not feeling well. He is confused and needs help. Off to the city where his size makes him seem dangerous. Meanwhile, over at Kaiju Central (they keep watch for kaiju activity 24/7), a dad and his son arrive to find the KAIJU alarm sounding for the first time ever! A kaiju has been spotted! Now what? Written in extra-relatable haiku and full of classic monster movies tropes, this bighearted comic tale will rev up story time with its satisfying blend of poetry, kindness, adventure, and humor.
