Day the Crayons Quit
by Drew Daywalt, Illustrated by Oliver Jeffers
Winner of the 2014 Texas Bluebonnet
Nominee
Duncan
just wants to color with his Crayons, but in their place, he found a letters
tied in string. The top one had HIS name on it. Letters for him? Who would
be writing letters to Duncan?
Is it
his birthday? No.
Is it
Valentine's day? No.
Are
they letters from his Crayons? YES!
Why
would his Crayons want to write a letter to Duncan? He untied the string
and unfolded the first letter. Guess who it was from? RED
Crayon! Guess what it said!
Then
he opened the letter from his FAVORITE, PURPLE Crayon!
Guess what it said!
As
he opened each letter, he became more surprised and concerned.
How
would he reply? Would they ever come back? How would he change if they
did come back?
