The Day the Crayons Quit

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.

This is a wonderful book. It is very creatively written and the graphics are beautiful. Not only is it a book for children, but adults will love it too! Very funny.

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.

My kids love The Day the Crayons Quit and honestly, I love it even more! It’s such a clever and funny story, full of personality and creativity. Each crayon has its own voice and attitude, which makes reading it aloud so much fun for both kids and adults. The illustrations are adorable, and the message about empathy, teamwork, and self-expression is wonderful. It’s one of those rare children’s books that parents actually look forward to reading again and again. Highly recommend!

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.

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…

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.

Can’t get enough of this book!

Un libro muy chulo y divertido para los peques. Un buen regalo. Las ilustraciones están muy bien

Mon fils de 2 ans apprend les couleurs en ce moment et ce livre est drôle et parfait pour ça. Chouette à offrir et agréable pour les parents aussi (ce qui n'est pas négligeable quand les enfants aiment qu'on leur lise 70 fois la même histoire jour après jour). C'est vrai pour tout les album de cet auteur: Jeffers fait des livres que les parents aiment raconter et que les enfant aiment écouter et regarder.

かわいい絵本。子どもが楽しく読んでいます。物にも命があるように感じることができたのか、他の物も大切に扱うようになりました。

This is the most hilarious books I have read. The innovative way of imagining each colour's emotions are so strong and intriguing that it kind of makes you respect the crayons after this. The illustrations by Oliver Jeffers and the Story line both are a perfect match. The best way to read this book is to read each crayon's letter in the book in a different voice to bring in some more realism to it.
