The Day The Crayons Quit 2

In The Day The Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt (illustrated by Oliver Jeffers), a funny, inventive picture book turns a simple colouring session into a full-scale negotiation kids will adore.

Duncan opens his crayon box ready to draw, only to find a stack of letters instead. Each crayon has something to say: some are overworked, others feel ignored, and a few have very strong opinions about who gets to be the “real” colour for certain jobs. As the complaints pile up, Duncan has to listen, problem-solve, and come up with a creative way to keep everyone in the picture.

Perfect for families and classrooms after a laugh-out-loud read-aloud, and for readers who enjoy humour, creativity, and gentle social-emotional learning about fairness and feelings.

Pop it in your basket and see what your crayons have been wanting to tell you.
