pickWe 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.
pickThis 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.
“Once Penelope found out what it was like to be someone‘s snack, she lost her appetite for children.”
This story can be used in the classroom for a variety of activities such as creative writing where students write the story from the perspective of another student or theme discussion. This is a funny book that would be good to introduce a discussion about classroom rules.
