Title: We Don’t Eat Our Classmates 

Series: Penelope Rex Book #1 

Author: Ryan T. Higgins 

Genre: Children’s Picture Book 

 

Rating: 3/5 

 

Review: 

The illustrations in this book are adorable. The dinos are so beautifully proportioned that I was immediately drawn in, despite the strange and quirky concept of eating children. 

 

There isn’t much to say about the story besides its empathetic message which is delivered in the typical method of having the main character experience what its like to be treated the way they are treating others. Overall, I wished it would have had a better turning point but it is written as well as many other books with the same message. 

 

Not one I could reread over and over but definitely a strong book.
