Review: We Don't Eat Our Classmates

We Don't Eat Our Classmates by Ryan T. Higgins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A delightful children's book full of humor, with the goal of teaching children empathy. Penelope Rex starts off school on the wrong foot- she eats her classmates. Her disapproving teacher makes her spit the delicious classmates out and Penelope tries to start over the next day but has a really hard time passing up such delicious children. No one wants to be her friend because who wants to be friends with someone who wants to gobble you up? Eventually, Penelope is bitten by the class goldfish and learns that being eaten isn't very nice at all.

A charmer.
