Cute story for the first day/week of school。 Penelope Rex is nervous about going to school and then she discovers her classmates are children and she eats them all。 The teacher gets angry and makes her spit them out。 She has a hard time making friends。 Dad tells her children are same on the inside but tastier。 She thought a lot about it but still had a hard time NOT eating her classmates。 Finally， she tried to make friends with the class fish and he bit her。 Being the fish's snack helped her to Cute story for the first day/week of school。 Penelope Rex is nervous about going to school and then she discovers her classmates are children and she eats them all。 The teacher gets angry and makes her spit them out。 She has a hard time making friends。 Dad tells her children are same on the inside but tastier。 She thought a lot about it but still had a hard time NOT eating her classmates。 Finally， she tried to make friends with the class fish and he bit her。 Being the fish's snack helped her to realize it is not being eaten。 She stopped eating her classmates and began making friends。 Super cute story。 。。。more

I read this once yesterday and once today and I think I had a smile on my face the majority of the time both times。 It is adorable and funny。 I think it would make a good read-aloud for pre-k through 2nd grade or so， especially when the school year is just starting。 It's a humorous way to let kids know that they're each a little different and also teaches the valuable lesson that it's not okay to eat your classmates， no matter how delicious they may seem。 I read this once yesterday and once today and I think I had a smile on my face the majority of the time both times。 It is adorable and funny。 I think it would make a good read-aloud for pre-k through 2nd grade or so， especially when the school year is just starting。 It's a humorous way to let kids know that they're each a little different and also teaches the valuable lesson that it's not okay to eat your classmates， no matter how delicious they may seem。 。。。more

It an intrasting book it a good read just for fun read。 It does not realy have a message for children。 But it is a fun read or just for laughs。 Sometimes you just want to read a book for fun with out message。

Used this book for my Kindergarten classes two months ago and at least once a week I have a student ask if we can read it again。 Not sure why this is the book that they have become fascinated with， but I feel like any book that can linger in their memories that long deserves my attention。

Me encanta que Penelope en inglés sea "Pinilopi" porque es una hermosa dinosaurioooo。 Además que se quería comer sus compañeros de clase！ Simplemente genial y divertido。 Habla sobre algo muuuuuy importante: que el aprendizaje se algo experiencial。 Hasta que casi no se la come un pececito no dejó de comerse sus compas de clase。 No hagas lo que no quieres que te hagan a ti， ese es el point。 Me encanta que Penelope en inglés sea "Pinilopi" porque es una hermosa dinosaurioooo。 Además que se quería comer sus compañeros de clase！ Simplemente genial y divertido。 Habla sobre algo muuuuuy importante: que el aprendizaje se algo experiencial。 Hasta que casi no se la come un pececito no dejó de comerse sus compas de clase。 No hagas lo que no quieres que te hagan a ti， ese es el point。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 it was a little dino by the name of Penelope and it was her first day of school。 She was really nervous about starting a new school so to ease her nervousness she gave her a new unicorn backpack which is her favorite。 Her dad packed her a lunch with 300 sandwiches which is a lot for a regular person。 Once Penelope got to school she was surprised to see that all her classmates were humans。 So Penelope decided to eat her classmates because she thought that humans were delicious。 Her teacher yelled it was a little dino by the name of Penelope and it was her first day of school。 She was really nervous about starting a new school so to ease her nervousness she gave her a new unicorn backpack which is her favorite。 Her dad packed her a lunch with 300 sandwiches which is a lot for a regular person。 Once Penelope got to school she was surprised to see that all her classmates were humans。 So Penelope decided to eat her classmates because she thought that humans were delicious。 Her teacher yelled and made her spit them out。 After that Penelope tried to make friends with the children but they didn’t want to be hers because they were scared。 She put in effort into making friends by finger painting， trying to play at recess， and she even saved someone a seat。 She still didn’t make friends and she felt lonely。 She went home crying to her dad and he gave her a good talking to helping her understand that she couldn’t eat her classmates。 She tried really hard the next day but she still managed to eat her classmates leaving the class scared of her。 The class had a pet goldfish and he wasn’t the only one not scared。 He proceeded to bite her giving her a taste of her own medicine。 That taught penelope that she shouldn’t eat her classmates。 The illustrations in this book were great from the little details to the bigger ones。 This book shows that you shouldn’t eat your classmates lol。 。。。more

This dinosaur deserved to have her fears addressed to begin with。 Not be punished for reacting to having them。This book’s lessons are outdated or even aged。Kids are not inherently monsterous or prone to monstrosity， such as a dinosaur would be （i。e。 eating people as snacks）。 Kids - even those facing chronic or multiple acute traumas - are not prone to harming other kids out of fears that have already been validated and addressed。This kid dinosaur needed someone to show her emotional support， and This dinosaur deserved to have her fears addressed to begin with。 Not be punished for reacting to having them。This book’s lessons are outdated or even aged。Kids are not inherently monsterous or prone to monstrosity， such as a dinosaur would be （i。e。 eating people as snacks）。 Kids - even those facing chronic or multiple acute traumas - are not prone to harming other kids out of fears that have already been validated and addressed。This kid dinosaur needed someone to show her emotional support， and the lesson we hand out kids through this book is: “don’t be mean to people out of fear cause someone else could harm you”， or anything to the side of that。In my opinion， Parents who were likely bullies with endless underaddressed privilege see the worth in this lesson。“A taste of your own medicine” is NOT what a *fearful* marginalized child （seeing as this was the ONLY dinosaur in the classroom） learns better behavior from， and it’s certainly NOT what they deserve。[my young reader was 7 years old at the time this review was made] 。。。more

Genre: Modern Fantasy Age: Pre K-1stI loved the idea behind this book！ The story was so good and it teaches great lessons as well。 For instance， students can learn the importance of getting along with their classmates。 Throughout the book， the T-Rex realizes her and her classmates are in it together and this is an important concept for students to learn at a young age。 I think this would be a good book to read aloud in class to a lower elementary class！

My daughter received this book as gift before her first day of kindergarten。 A very sweet story for young children about to enter school！

Super cute and fun story that I could totally see students enjoying。 Still teaches a lesson about being kind but in a very fun and silly way。 I think this would be a great quick and easy book to do a read aloud with that students would have fun with。

Friends for dinner。 This has been done， and better。 Oh it was a good try。 And I wanted to like this。 But neither the art nor text was good enough to pull this one off。 Worth reading once though。

A great and cute reminder of how we should treat other people， especially those different from us！

This is a picture book about dinosaur who goes to her first day and thinks about how good her classmates would taste， that is until she figures out that she is not at the top of the food chain in the school。
