This book is adorable, well illustrated, thoughtfully written, and just so funny! I treasure it and I would give it to any kiddo entering school for the first time. Check out Penelope, your new favorite overall-clad dinosaur, who loves ponies "because they're delicious".

I don’t know if the pictures or the text win me over but WOW! This is a fun and funny book that has a great lesson - I laughed out loud several times when Higgins caught me off guard-“because pony are delicious”.

Age: Kindergarten-2nd grade
School: First day, new school
Delightfully hilarious take on manners in the classroom.
Also, my favorite "accidental" sticker placement. Four books got to the library shelf like this because "that's always where the Popular Picks sticker goes." I still don't believe her.

Ryan T. Higgins’ We Don’t Eat Our Classmates is one of the most laugh-out-loud fun children’s illustrated books I’ve had in my hands in quite some time. Poor Penelope T. rex struggles against her true nature as she becomes acquainted with her new classmates. It seems to be a nearly impossible lesson to learn to not swallow up every child in the classroom, because as noted in the book, “children are delicious!” Eventually, Penelope catches on in this story to help real-life kids learn not to yell, or punch, or shove - things that might be ok at home, perhaps even part of “survival mode” - because, as Penelope learns: people are better suited as friends than as lunch.
