The Day the Crayons Quit, by Drew Daywalt ~Congress Elementary

The Day the Crayons Quit, by Drew Daywalt  ~Congress Elementary

Don't you just love a brand new box of crayons?!  What a fun and creative book this is.  I just personally love this book. It is also another well written, good read that keeps the attention of the kids.

The story is a collection of letters from the most common crayons in the crayon box that are on strike.  Red, purple, blue, green, pink, gray, black, white, orange, yellow, etc., all write a letter to the little boy, Duncan, who owns them explaining how they feel as his crayon and what they want to change. It is quite funny in parts and just silly in others.  Your kids will want to laugh and share their favorite colors and animals. The artwork is great and drawn like a child might draw.

I highly recommend this book.  The length is just right too -not too long, not too short and lots of places to add or draw commentary especially from the last page.  It is a very creative collage of colorful images colored a little differently...
