Penelope Rex, the only dinosaur in her class, faces a new challenge when another dinosaur, Patty Topps, joins her school. As Penelope grapples with sharing her unique status, she must navigate questions of identity and belonging. Will she find a way to stand out while fitting in, or will the playground prove too small for two towering dinos? Join Penelope on her journey of self-discovery and friendship, where being one of a kind takes on a whole new meaning.

From the publisher

A brand-new Penelope Rex book from Ryan T. Higgins, the #1 New York Times best-selling author-illustrator ofWe Don’t Eat Our Classmates and Mother Bruce! Just when she has gotten used to being the only dinosaur in a class full of children, Penelope Rex is surprised to learn that the new kid is…a dinosaur just like her! Will the playground be big enough for the two of them? Penelope Rex is the only dinosaur in her school and she likes it that way. But when a new kid joins her class, Penelope doesn’t know how to feel about it–because this new kid is another dinosaur! As she tries to welcome Patty Topps, Penelope is faced with some dino-size questions about standing out, fitting in, and what really makes her feel special. Readers will root for Penelope as she navigates what it means to be one of a kind (even if she’s no longer the only kid in her class who is seven feet tall and covered in scales).
