We Don’t Eat Our Classmates by Ryan T. Higgins

This charming story of Penelope Rex’s effort to stop eating her classmates and start making friends is a touching example of developing empathy and building safe learning environments.

Paired with a set of biting finger puppets, learners will delight in retelling the story alongside the book!
