I loved reading this book! Not only is it hilarious, but it also serves as a great tool to teach about different points of view and being sensitive to others feelings.

Sometimes, you just know a book is going to be good when you pick it up. This is one of them. Communicating, letter-writing crayons. What's not to love?

The blue crayon is my favourite. At the end every colour is used.

This is one of my favourite picture books. Drew Daywalt nails it on the head. Just wow!

The Day the Crayons book is such a creative, and funny book! It definitely brings a new perspective to your mind. It is a great story to read, and reading everyone’s different perspectives is mind opening. Different crayon colors get tired…

I absolutely LOVE this book and it is really for any age of reader. I used it as a writing prompt for elementary students to write from the perspective of any common object. It was a lot of fun and yield some very creative writing! …

This book is hilarious for all ages. The yellow crayon text is very hard to read, which I expected to be part of his story, but it was not. We'll be reading the rest of the series.

My toddler and I really enjoyed reading this creative book together (and playing "find the colour" on the second last page). He was very excited at the prospect of a book about "colours" (his word for crayons). The only drawback is that…

A very well-written book with bright pictures; your child is sure to love it and will soon be reading along with you (or memorizing it) The book has colourful characters, a problem, and a resolution all of which children love.

Hilarious story! I never realized that the life of a crayon can be so challenging! Next time I color, I will use purple for water and green for the sun.

For those of us who love colors and coloring, this book is terrific fun. These crayons have a lot to say and they do a great job expressing their feelings. Good modeling for kids! Be sure to check out the follow-up book "The Day the…

I laughed so hard I was in tears and I had to read its counterpart "The Day the Crayons Came Home". An exceptional book!

One by one we read each color's reason for going on strike, written in its color. Red feels totally overworked. Purple is tired of contributing to messy pictures. Yellow and Orange cannot agree on who deserves to be the color of the sun.…
