TITLE: The Day the Crayons Quit
AUTHOR: Drew Daywalt
ILLUSTRATOR: Oliver Jeffers
PUBLISHER: Philomel Books
COPYRIGHT: 2013
At school Duncan is going to color, but he finds a stack of letters from his crayons. The crayons each tell him why they are quitting and what he needs to change. Some feel over used (like red for all the holidays). Some feel under used (like pink since it is more of a girls' color).
I love crayons so the title and front of this book caught my eye. This was a fun read to imagine crayons coming to life and writing letters. It would be great to use in a classroom and have children write their own letters.
This is on the 2014 Bluebonnet Award list. It is AR level 3.8.
