This book's style didn't really work for me, I never felt attached to any of the characters or the stakes involved. However, the prose was thought provoking and lyrical at times, I just wish it engaged with substance more as well as style.

Penelope the T-Rex can't wait to meet her new classmates on the first day of school. But is she ever surprised to find out they are all...children! And they look...delicious....
Hilarious story of trying to fit in while trying to avoid nibbling on our friends, with lots of clever little asides and great illustrations.
