A very unconventional pet for Penelope Rex

Penelope Rex’s new pet is Mittens, a 600-pound saber-toothed tiger with six-inch teeth—a far cry from the dogs, cats, and fish other kids might keep. Unsure at first about having a pet, Penelope decides to make the best of Mittens’ arrival, only to encounter the large and messy challenges that come with caring for him. The setup turns familiar questions about pet ownership into a dinosaur-sized predicament, balancing its complications with the rewards the description promises. As a companion to *We Don’t Eat Our Classmates*, the book extends Penelope’s story through an animal-centered domestic misadventure.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures.
  • Young readers curious about stories involving pets and the responsibilities of caring for them.

Book overview

Penelope Rex might finally have bitten off more than she can chew--a pet saber tooth tiger!--in this companion to the #1 New York Times bestselling We Don't Eat Our Classmates by Ryan T. Higgins.

Most kids have dogs and cats and fish and guinea pigs. Penelope Rex has Mittens.

Penelope wasn't sure she even wanted a pet when Mittens came into her life. But now that he's here, she is determined to make the best of it.
Pets, however--especially ones that are six hundred pounds with six-inch-long teeth--can cause very big, very messy problems.

In this companion to We Don't Eat Our Classmates, Penelope Rex discovers the challenges and rewards (but mostly challenges) of pet ownership.
