The Day the Crayons Quit
by Drew Daywalt
Illustrated by Oliver Jeffers
Ages 3-7 years
Duncan just wants to color. But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only letters, all saying the same thing: His crayons have had enough! They quit! What can Duncan possibly do to appease all of the crayons and get them back to doing what they do best? A clever and humourous story that gives personality to everyday objects while exploring fairness.
