We Don't Eat Our Classmates is a children's picture book that was released in hardcover copy over the summer. The story by Ryan T. Higgins puts a new twist on the first day of school by making the anxious student a dinosaur named Penelope Rex. She just happens to have a taste for children. Will she learn that her new classmates are more than just delicious? How does it feel when no one wants to be friends.
About the Book:
It's the first day of school for Penelope Rex, and she can't wait to meet her classmates. But it's hard to make human friends when they're so darn delicious! That is, until Penelope gets a taste of her own medicine and finds she may not be at the top of the food chain after all. . . .Readers will gobble up this hilarious new story from award-winning author-illustrator Ryan T. Higgins.
Reading this story with my little guy was a lot of fun as he was getting ready to go back to school and even more enjoyable now that he's been in his classroom for a while. The story showed that everyone has the same concerns about going into new situations and meeting new people. "Will they be nice?" It also shared that children are the same on the inside and it can be hard to make friends, but it is worth it in the end to make an effort.

The illustrations also done by Ryan are a lot fun. The book's pictures take us along as Penelope spends time at home and school. I thought the dinosaur pictures as drawn by Penelope's classmates were a nice touch.
