"We Don't Eat Our Classmates" by Ryan T. Higgins, Illustrated by Ryan T. Higgins
Penelope Rex is anxious about entering a new school with unfamiliar students, but when she arrives at the institution, she discovers that it is populated with human children. And when Penelope Rex eats her human children because they are delicious, the instructor tells her to spit them out since we don't eat our students. While Penelope Rex continues to play with them throughout the day, she makes an effort to resist the want to devour them. She repeatedly spits her peers back out after ingesting them, but she simply can't stop it. She believes the classroom pet fish is the only buddy she can have since she feels so awful about wanting to devour them. Nevertheless, the fish attacks her and tries to devour her when she tries to pet it. The fish wants to devour her, so she starts to scream and is scared of it. After experiencing what it must be like to have a classmate or other student trying to eat her, she decides to stop trying to eat her peers. Characters- Penelope Rex, her classmates, the teacher, and the group of fish in the class. Setting- The novel begins in Penelope Rex's bedroom at home before switching to her school classroom. Theme/Moral- Especially if you're at a new school and have new acquaintances, it might be difficult to fit in. When you're worried about meeting new
people and starting a new school, it might be difficult to behave correctly and obey the rules. Students can get empathy for what a new student could be thinking and feeling by reading this narrative. And how crucial it is that everyone work together and follow the law in order to be safe. The illustrations are more effective than the text since they are charming and include more details. When you read each page, a clear and entertaining picture of what is happening to Penelope Rex and her friends emerges in your mind. It offers a varied group of students, from Penelope being a T-
Rex dinosaur to the students being human students from a variety of nations and cultures. The scene has a very bright style, and the teacher's classroom is similarly awash in color. The illustrations are quite creative. The illustrations make sense in relation to the text. The text's medium, method, and style are acceptable. The book's overall message and each illustration's significance are enhanced by design features. The picture storybook's illustrations define the tone, setting, characters, and topic. I hope to help students connect with the picture book more by showing how apprehensive Penelope Rex was about starting a new school and meeting new students by the way she carried her bookbag or when she pretended to be herself in
a tiny play at home before school. Request that they list every type of student they see in Penelope's new classroom. What kind of countries and cultures are shown on the classroom walls by the students? then ask them to help me identify any classroom exercises that are not included in the text. On the first day of school, kids
would benefit significantly from reading this book. Students will get the opportunity to discuss what made them the most anxious on the first day of class, which will help to lighten the mood of starting a new class with new professors and classmates. Talking about how they are feeling or even some of the preparations they made for a new school and new peers can help students connect and develop friendships.
