Penelope Rex is ready for the school year: new backpack, new crayons, new…dinosaur?!?! New York Times best-selling author-illustrator Ryan T. Higgins is back in this heartfelt and humorous new adventure about the doubts, anxieties, and ultimately joys of meeting the new kid in school.
Penelope Rex loves her school, she loves her friends, and she loves that she’s the only one in her class who can dunk a basketball. But when a new dinosaur arrives, Penelope Rex begins to doubt herself. Is she no longer special? What if her classmates like the new dinosaur kid more? Can Penelope learn to share the school or is there only room for one prehistoric kid on the playground?
