Preschool
and Kindergarten
Poor Duncan just wants to color. But when he opens his
box of crayons, he finds only letters, all saying the same thing: We quit!
Beige is tired of playing second fiddle to Brown. Blue
needs a break from coloring all that water, while Pink just wants to be used.
Green has no complaints, but Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking to each
other.
What is Duncan to do?
This book is extremely creative and unique. Crayons
writing letters to their owner complaining about being used too much or not
being used enough and more. As an artist I know that some colors are used more
than others.
The artwork is perfectly childish and the crayons
themselves are adorable.
Duncan’s crayons sure are a colorful bunch of
characters. Having soothed the hurt feelings on one group who threatened to
quit, Duncan now faces a whole new group of crayons 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 Turquoise, whose head
is now stuck to one of Duncan’s stinky socks after they ended up in the dryer
together.
This story features the
lesser known/used crayons you get in those 96 crayon boxes.
You know all those crayons you lose when you’re on vacation
or at a restaurant or when they roll under the bed and you’re too lazy to get
them. This story shows what crayons go through when we forget about them.
It’s hard to believe that this book is even more
unique than the last one.
And just for fun here’s a Baby Blues comic featuring
crayons:
