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.Review Quotes
Higgins ("Mother Bruce") knows how to make big, scary animals seem vulnerable, lovable and funny, adding a strategic touch of gross-out when our heroine spits her victims back up.--New York Times Book Reviews PRAISE FOR BE QUIET! --Junior Library Guild Selection PRAISE FOR BE QUIET! --Kids Indie Next List [T]he bright colors and deceptively adorable dinosaurs make this a fun read rather than a scary one, with a hidden lesson about boundaries. Too much fun for a single read.--Booklist For the times when students struggle to understand one another and when impulse control needs a little strengthening, pair this winner with Mo Willems's Edwina, the Dinosaur Who Didn't Know She Was Extinct. An appealing read-aloud selection.--SLJ Higgins once again delivers sassy dialogue, flawless comic pacing, and faith in the ability of children to learn and grow.--Publishers Weekly (starred review) Higgins' illustrations combine scanned textures, graphite, ink, and Photoshop elements, and they feature a wonderfully diverse class that includes a girl in hijab, a tyke in glasses, and a boy wearing a kippah amid classmates of varying skin and hair colors and body types. Fans of macabre, tongue-in-cheek humor (and twist endings!) will enjoy time spent with Penelope.--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)About The Author

Surely enjoyable
This book was a bit with our 4 year old. He seemed to love it, considering he made me read it 3 times in a row. The pictures are really engaging to help tell even more of a story than the words provide. I was surprised how long it kept his attention even though it was longer than the ones we were previously reading.

Adorable story
This hilarious book made kindergarten more fun. We read it constantly, and now she reads it to me. She was especially happy when the teacher read it to the class, and she knew how it would end.

This is a really fun story. It helps kids to understand that some people are different and how we must get to know them and why they might do things differently than we do
