The Day the Crayons Quit

5/5 starsI 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.

Super cute and popular book for kids. It makes a good gift, and adults will also enjoy reading it to younger kids.

This book is an absolute delight! The story is clever and funny, with each crayon having its own personality and grievances. The illustrations are adorable, and it’s a hit with both kids and adults. My child loves it, and it opens up conversations about feelings and creativity. A must-read for any family library; it’s both entertaining and meaningful!

Read this today with my 4 year old grandson and it's hilarious! Never thought about crayons having feelings but after reading their letters, I get their dilemma! Great book. Highly recommend.

Such a clever and creative book! This is one of my favorites in the series. I was hesitant to get it because it was a little pricey, but the enjoyment of reading it has been truly priceless! Good for kids of all ages!

All time favorite story for my kids over the years. Clever and well written.

Super cute book!!! Love reading this book to my 1st graders!

As an adult, yes, this is a fun book to read. I bought it for my two year old and he enjoys it, but I think it’s better suited for school aged kids who have already been influenced to some negative social norms 😅. It’s mostly fine, but it does use the word “hate” which I know a lot of people try not to teach their kids to use (and as a non American my husband finds the word very strong and really doesn’t like it), and there’s a whole page about how pink is a girl color. My son at 2 has no knowledge of “boy or girl” colors/toys so I changed the words, but that could have been written differently. I’ll probably put it away for a few years.
