Bookroo's summary

Bertie, the biggest codfish in school, loves sharks but is teased for his size. Dubbed 'Codzilla,' he embraces the name until a real shark threatens his classmates. Can Bertie's shark smarts and big heart save the day? Dive into this tale of courage and friendship where brains and bravery collide in the deep blue sea.

From the publisher

Codzilla is a heartfelt and hilarious picture book based on the classic school story of bully vs. brains—perfect for fans of favorites such as SpongeBob SquarePants, The Pout-Pout Fish, Ninja Baby, and Vegetables in Underwear!

Bertie is the BIGGEST codfish in school. He loves reading about sharks more than anything, but he’s teased about his size by the littler fish in his school. When they start calling him Codzilla, he gets fed up and starts living up to the name.

But when danger strikes from the deep in the form of a shark, Bertie must use his vast shark knowledge and his sizeable heart to save his friends.
