covers the concepts of feelings and conflict management. It is a light-hearted story that deals with more in-depth issues on feelings and emotions.
The narrative opens with a little child named Duncan having been given a coloring project at school that requires him to utilize his crayon box. But when he opened the box, he found a stack of letters his rebellious crayons had written to him! Basically, Duncan’s crayons don’t like the way he uses them, so they each send him a letter explaining their humorous reasons for quitting—or perhaps a better phrase would be “going on strike”!
The orange and yellow crayons, for instance, aim to persuade Duncan that they are the true color of the sun and, as such, the logical option in such works.
Drew DeWalt’s story is sure to get a few chuckles, and Oliver Jeffers’ drawings are bold and colorful, making The Day the Crayons Quit an ideal present for new parents, baby showers, back to school, or any other occasion!
