We Don't Eat Our Classmates (Ryan T Higgins)



*Contrasts and contradictions: We don’t expect a dinosaur to be in school! We also don’t expect a teacher to let her stay when she has a problem with EATING classmates!!
*What might the author be trying to teach us?
  •  everyone has their own challenges
  • We need to watch for people who are left out and help them
  • Dinosaur learned what it was like when he got bit (empathy)
  • Everyone has expectations about school. What are some things we expect about school? What if someone expects something totally different than you?
  • We should never never ever eat our classmates! LOL


Goodreads says:

Penelope the dinosaur starts school, but it’s hard to make friends when her classmates are so delicious!

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.
