The day the crayons Quit is a wonderful tale that also has a sequel titled ‘The day the crayons came home’. “If your crayons wrote to you what do you think they would say?” Believe it or not after we read the book, he actually started to care for his thousands of crayons better. My boy loved the idea of crayons coming to life. The Day the Crayons Quit By Drew Daywalt Illustrated by Oliver Jeffers Hardcover 17. Some like red crayon think he is overworked and needs a break, orange and yellow get in a fight over which one is the color of the sun and pink is upset that Duncan doesn’t use him enough. The story takes the form of a collection of letters that the crayons write to the boy who owns them.

It is just a pure coincidence that this story book was also read in my boy’s classroom as they were doing the theme ‘conflict management.’ Something all kids should spend time on understanding. I bought it online and loved the illustrations and moral. The day the crayons quit, this story’s title just caught my attention. For me reading is one of the most important tools I use to teach my boy. Plus it has a lesson for my five year old. This one is one of my favorites! It is creative, funny and so colorful.
