The Day the Crayons Quit

$17.99

Poor Duncan just wants to color. But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only letters, all saying the same thing: His crayons have had enough! They quit! Beige Crayon is tired of playing second fiddle to Brown Crayon. Black wants to be used for more than just outlining. Blue needs a break from coloring all those bodies of water. And Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking—each believes he is the true color of the sun. This hilarious, colorful #1 New York Times bestselling picture book is fun for the whole family.

By Drew Daywalt, illustrated by Oliver Jeffers (2013)

10 1/4 x 10 1/4 inches; 30 pages; hardcover
