We Don't Eat Our Classmates

I plan on reading this picture book to my classes on the first day of school.  Penelope is a T Rex who is going to school for the first time.  She is surprised that her classmates are children.  She finds children delicious and eats all her classmates, though her teacher then makes her spit them out.  But no one, after that, wants to be friends with Penelope.  She tries to make friends with the class goldfish, who promptly bites her finger.  She realizes then how she treated her classmates and changes her behavior, making friends.  I figure 9th graders could use this book's lesson as well as younger children could.  I borrowed this book from the public library.
