This work offers a critical, colorful and informative examination of different types of monster movies, spanning the silent period to today. Chapter One focuses on dragons, dinosaurs, and other scaly giants from films like 1953's The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, an impressive stop-motion production that ushered in a new era of atomic-spawned monster films. Chapter Two examines "big bug" flicks, beginning with 1954's giant ant-infested Them! Chapter Three focuses on ordinary animals grown to improbable proportions through scientific or sinister experimentation, such as the huge octopus in 1955's It Came from Beneath the Sea. Chapters Four, Five, and Six look at films in which nature goes berserk, and otherwise innocuous animals flock, swarm, hop or run about on a menacingly massive scale, including 1963's The Birds and 1972's Frogs. Finally, Chapter Seven focuses on films featuring beasts that defy easy definition, such as 1958's The Blob and Fiend Without a Face.

Some fossilized dino dooky made its way into the pet food supply, and all of the Gingham County critters who ate it have reverted back to their ancient selves. Merle's a sabre-toothed kitty, Paco the goldfish is now a dangerous Megalodon, Wiley's new pet lizard, Lupe, has become a snarling T-rex, and poor Nate Farkles, the town vet, is up to his ears in dinosaurs. If only Grampa hadn't mistaken a doggy biscuit for a gingerbread cookie, he and Wiley might've had a chance of taming the deadly dinos. But it's never over 'til it's over with this hilarious duo--Grampa may be ancient, but he's agile!

In the third book in the series, hapless, goofy Grampa and his grandson Wiley are in for another zany adventure: They're out to capture Moby Fizz, the biggest, bloated, most deformed bass the world has ever known--dead, alive or deep-fried. Readers be warned: You're about to see prehistoric fish the size of a small town, you'll witness a terrifying pirhana attack, and you'll even see Grampa wearing nothing but a grass skirt. That's right, it ain't pretty. And it ain't easy plunging the depths of Lake Putrid to capture a whale--at least not without the help of Gramma and the reunited Gingham County Ladies water skiiing team, and Paco, Grampa's prized pet goldfish.
