I bought this and its companion because the premise and previews appealed to me as an adult. The book is in a letter format written by the crayons to their own we Dunken. This imaginative story takes us into the world of Duncan, a young boy who opens his box of crayons to find that they come to life with their own unique personalities and colorful complaints.

One page letters, written by some disgruntled crayons. The childlike illustrations are also lovely and it has a nice overall message about inclusion. From Red feeling overworked to Peach feeling neglected, each crayon has something to say, and it's both hilarious and heartwarming. My little one loved this book!

Don’t get me wrong. 25 cm square, the paperback book has inner flap extensions with a summary of the story on the front one and, on the back, information about the author: DREW DAYWALT & the illustrator: OLIVER JEFFERS, of LOST and FOUND fame, nonchalantly mentioned, upside-down on the front cover of this book! The book is filled with colourful pictures and simple illustrations. Sadly the cover has been damaged 💔

Spanning 31 pages, between the beginning and the ending, are the 'letters' to Duncan, each one on the left-hand page, accompanied by a relevant picture on the right-hand page, illustrating the crayon’s colour and the particular grievance. ’At the end, a compromise is reached and ‘everything’ is happy ever after. Measuring in around 25.
Tells It Straight
Even if you're an adult, it brings you back to your childhood. Well written. It's one for the future as my granddaughter is too young yet. Written as a young hand might; sometimes in capitals, sometimes with a loop, sometimes with a scribble out, and, generally, on a slant despite any lines, the story begins on the covers with a hint of just what might be inside.

I ADORE Oliver Jeffers and his illustrations—they're so charming and whimsical! with some militant-looking crayons! Very interesting book.

This is a really good book. I appreciate the book's clever storytelling and vibrant illustrations, which keep my child engaged from start to finish.
