This book is astonishingly well written and witty. When you read this book it will positively make you crack up. This book is suitable for all ages. This book is so wonderfully- illustrated and you can see the crayons coming to life. I remember reading this book for the first time a couple of years back and I fell in love with it. I loved how the letters were so relatable and each crayon had its own problem, which created an amusing experience for the reader. Also what made the book fascinating was the font in each letter. It wasn’t just the typical dull, old-fashioned Arial font, each one had a different type of hand-writing, some neat and some sloppy. Overall this is a very unique book and I would recommend this book to everyone of all ages. Next time I need to use crayons I will use pink for the water and purple for the sun! 5/5. @TheBookWorm of the Hamilton Public Library Teen Review Board I know I’m a teenager and I shouldn’t be reading picture books but this one just caught my attention when my brother brought it home. “The Day the Crayons Quit” is funny, clever and witty. Anybody can easily relate with the interactive photos and letters that Duncan receives from his crayons that are ready to quit. I honestly laughed and felt that this was a really smart book, I never felt like I was reading a children’s book. The interactive “letter” format made it different than just that typical Arial font book. The truth behind the letters was funny and witty and most of all relatable which is why I guess it has become such a hit amongst kids and me alike. All in all I don’t recommend this to just kids but also to anyone just looking for a fun read. Rating 5/5 - @jewelreader of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library
