The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew DaywaltMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Love this super-cute picture book. I read it to a class of 1st-graders today, most of whom had never heard it before. They really enjoyed it, and it is fun to read out loud.
One day a boy opens his box of crayons to discover they have some grievances to air with him. They have written him letters describing their concerns and complaints (beige is never used, blue is used so much he is now short and stubby, grey is tired because he is used for very large animals, pink would like to be used more, and orange and yellow are no longer speaking over a fight about which is the rightful color of the sun). Kids will find these issues funny, as will parents, or anyone who has ever owned a coloring book.
This is a great read-aloud for younger elementary-aged kids (as is the sequel). I would definitely recommend it!
