The Day the Crayons Came Home

ONE OF THE BEST CHILDREN’S BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Time, Parents, The Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly

“Continues its predecessor’s pleasing, goofy conceit . . . Once again, both Daywalt’s text and Jeffers’ illustrations are endearing.”—New York Times Book Review

Poor Duncan! His crayons sure are a colorful bunch of characters. In The Day the Crayons Quit, they threatened to walk off the job. Now, a whole new group of crayons have sent postcards asking to be rescued. From Maroon Crayon, who was lost beneath the sofa cushions and then broken in two after Dad sat on him; to poor Turquoise, who is stuck to one of Duncan’s stinky socks after they both ended up in the dryer together; to Pea Green, who knows darn well that no kid likes peas, each and every crayon has a woeful tale to tell and a plea to be brought home to the crayon box.

With Drew Daywalt’s laugh-out-loud text, and Oliver Jeffers’ signature illustrations, The Day the Crayons Came Home delivers yet another kid-friendly message of belonging, self-expression, and the power of empathy.
