Gigglezilla: Alice’s Big, Gentle Roar

Starring Alice

Morning light warmed the rug, and Alice hugged her toy with colorful shapes. “I be God-zilla!” she giggled, tugging on a green blanket with paper spikes. Because she wanted a big city to guard, she mapped streets with tape and stacked smooth, clacky blocks into tall towers.

Alice tried a roar—“ROAR!”—and stomped, so a bridge tumbled and orange juice sloshed onto the mat. “Whoa!” cried Mama, hurrying in as Teddy slid under the fallen blocks. Alice’s cheeks felt hot; her belly fluttered with worry because she had made a messy, sticky problem.

Alice stopped. “Gentle Godzilla helps,” she whispered, making a new plan because stomping broke things. She clicked on a flashlight to cast a big, spiky shadow on the wall and tiptoed along the tape arrows. Using her toy like a little scoop, she freed Teddy, one block at a time.

After the save, Alice and Mama wiped the sticky spot and rebuilt the bridge together. “Team gentle!” Mama smiled, which made Alice’s chest feel warm and big in a new way. Because she chose to help, the city stood taller, and her shadow looked friendly on the wall—huge, but kind.
