The Day The Crayons Made Friends

In The Day The Crayons Made Friends by Drew Daywalt, Duncan’s lively crayons are back—only this time they’ve escaped the crayon box to explore the playroom and see who they can meet. A funny picture book full of small surprises, it’s a joyful celebration of imagination, friendship and creative play.

Instead of sticking to colouring-in duties, the crayons head off on their own missions. Red gets to live out a big dream involving a fire engine, Blue tries to help a fashion doll in a slightly unusual predicament, and Esteban (still a standout) bravely takes on a “wild beast” that looks suspiciously like a teddy bear. Each misadventure adds a new layer to Duncan’s world without giving away the best laughs.

Perfect for fans of *The Day the Crayons Quit*, preschool and early primary readers, and anyone hunting for a read-aloud children’s book with humour and heart.
