The Day the Crayons Quit

These books are super cute. The illustrations are great and colorful. I hope to get the rest along the way. They are good quality and easy for kids to enjoy.

Great book. My kids love it. Illustrations are nice, each crayon color has its own unique personality. Very fun, great read.

5/5 stars I recently purchased "The Day the Crayons Quit" by Drew Daywalt and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers for my 7-year-old daughter. I am absolutely delighted with this book! The story is clever, humorous, and engaging. The crayons, each with their own unique personality, decide to quit their job and express their frustrations through hilarious letters to their owner, Duncan. The illustrations are vibrant, whimsical, and perfectly complement the story. My daughter was completely enthralled by the book and couldn't stop giggling at the crayons' antics. The story sparked a great conversation about creativity, self-expression, and the importance of using our imagination. The book's physical quality is also top-notch. The pages are sturdy, and the cover is beautifully designed. The price was very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the book. Overall, I highly recommend "The Day the Crayons Quit" to parents, educators, and anyone who loves a good story. It's a wonderful addition to any home or classroom library.

This is a beautiful book - I love it as do my 3 grandsons. After reading it they started picking different colors to use so the crayons would all get a chance. They also didn't feel they had to only color certain things a specific color.

This book is adorable and so clever. My daughter loves the way each crayon has its own personality and little story, and it keeps her engaged from start to finish. The illustrations are bright and playful and it is one of those books that is fun for adults to read too. It is the kind of story that makes kids laugh while also teaching a little bit about feelings and getting along. We have read it multiple times already and it has become an easy favorite on the shelf.

Very cute book for kids! Funny, engaging and colorful.

In a nutshell: This book is a collection of letters from Duncan’s mostly unhappy set of crayons. One or two Amazon reviewers didn’t like that the crayons have a beef with Duncan and write him letters of complaint. After reading it I wouldn’t worry. It’s not going to make your kids bigger complainers than they probably already are. It’s got cool illustrations and a creative, unexpected ending. The funniest part is at the very end about the peach crayon. You’ll have to read it to see what I’m talking about. There is one unnecessary use of ‘hate.’ From a kid perspective, I didn’t conduct formal interviews, but we read it three times yesterday at three different sittings. As a family you can talk about: What is a strike? Why do people strike and what’s a picket line? How would you approach a labor dispute? What should Duncan’s strategy be in renegotiating their contract? The story helps younger listeners practice their colors. The pictures of the letters look so real your two-year-old may try to pick them up off the page. Looking forward to an equally creative sequel that I’ve taken the liberty of titling The Day the Parents Quit. It was a long holiday weekend…

Cutest story!!

Can’t get enough of this book!

An amazing story for kids to learn about feelings in a really creative way!

English words are witty and expressive

I am amazed at how creatively this book is written by the author . Great illustrations too. I got this for my 4years old and I ended up loving it. She likes it too. At first she did not get the context of the book, but slowly she is trying to understand. But she loves to listen to me reading this for her. Probably kids age above 5 or 6 may able to understand and enjoy this even more.
