The Day The Crayons Quit
The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt, illustrated by Oliver Jeffers, is a clever and laugh-out-loud picture book that turns a simple box of crayons into a cast of unforgettable characters. The story unfolds through a series of letters written by each crayon to their owner, Duncan, expressing their unique grievances—Red feels overworked, Blue is worn down to a stub, Pink feels neglected, and Beige Teachers Picks Books wants more recognition beyond just coloring wheat. Jeffers’ whimsical illustrations bring each crayon’s personality to life, adding to the humor and charm. With its creative premise, witty dialogue, and engaging artwork, the book not only entertains but also subtly teaches lessons about empathy, understanding different perspectives, and appreciating everyone’s unique contributions. It’s a favorite read-aloud for classrooms and families, sparking both laughter and thoughtful conversations.
