Penelope Rex vs the new kid by Ryan T. Higgins. PICTURE BOOK. Disney, 2026. $20. 9781368108706
BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
When a new dinosaur moves into Penelope’s school, Penelope is pretty sure she doesn’t like this at all. Especially since the human kids start treating the dinosaurs as if they are exactly the same and Patty Topps seems to do many things much better than Penelope can. Penelope isn’t sure she can adjust to this kid in her class.
Penelope tackles bigger issues of jealousy and identity in her latest adventure. While not quite the same level of humor of the other books, I still love her.
