A favorite of my daughter's. She still laughs hysterically when we read it.

3.5 ⭐ Jayme Lee Curtis is at it again. It‘s hard to be five celebrates being five years old. Both the things that you can no longer do as well as the things that you get to do now. This is a lovely book just like all her others. This is probably my least favorite of all her books I‘ve read so far. The illustrations are always just as perfect as the books are.

This is an amazing book for social emotional regulation. Would be very beneficial for age ranges K-3. I will definitely include this in my future classroom.

“WE DON‘T EAT OUR CLASSMATES! Please spit them out at once!”

In We Don't Eat Our Classmates, Penelope Rex, a young dinosaur, eagerly starts school, but her excitement turns to confusion when her classmates turn out to be... lunch! Through vibrant illustrations and humor, this delightful tale explores themes of empathy, acceptance, and the challenges of making friends. Join Penelope on her hilarious journey to discover the importance of kindness and understanding in building friendships!

We Don't Eat Our Classmates by Ryan T. Higgins is a whimsical picture book that follows Penelope Rex, a dinosaur navigating school and friendship. The vibrant, bold illustrations bring humor and emotion, contrasting Penelope‘s playful ferocity with her human classmates. The story delivers a heartfelt message about empathy, kindness, and embracing differences, making it both entertaining and meaningful for young readers.

This is a classic! I love the question Penelope has at the start: how many teeth will her classmates have? Is that foreshadowing? It seems too obvious. Like "Where are you going with that axe?". What's the literary device? Maybe it's just foreshadowing, but I think it needs more E.B. White significance.
