The Day the Crayons Quit

I am amazed at how creatively this book is written by the author . Great illustrations too. I got this for my 4years old and I ended up loving it. She likes it too. At first she did not get the context of the book, but slowly she is trying to understand. But she loves to listen to me reading this for her. Probably kids age above 5 or 6 may able to understand and enjoy this even more.

This is the most hilarious books I have read. The innovative way of imagining each colour's emotions are so strong and intriguing that it kind of makes you respect the crayons after this. The illustrations by Oliver Jeffers and the Story line both are a perfect match. The best way to read this book is to read each crayon's letter in the book in a different voice to bring in some more realism to it.

I bought this book for my 6-year-old son. He really likes the book. The book is filled with colourful pictures and simple illustrations. Very interesting book.

It's a lovely book, good quality paper. Bigger than I expected. Its a different story about crayons hence got it to add to my 3 year Olds collection. I'm hoping she enjoys it as we read it more often. The book is in a letter format written by the crayons to their own we Dunken.

I never thought that a book can be so interesting. This is the favourite book of my daughter and this book has ignite her interest in the books. Now she have more than 10 books in her personal library and she is just 6. Just a single problem that I want to mention. This book makes the search for other new books harder because you can't find another book that can compete.

Don't we all have complains in real life? Can we not wade through them with a bit of satire? What a distinct style of writing. There is satire in every page, something I did not find so often in children's book. Everyone has a compaint. While one crayon feels it is overused, the other remains unused. Someone does not need to be used while the other does not want to used only in a specific way. Somebody is misunderstood, someone is naked, a few are having a quarrel and a good friend is trying to mediate the fight. I could not stop myself from laughing while reading this book. The entire family has fun everytime I read this book aloud, including my toddler who likes to be funny. Not just the text, but also the presentation is very very unique. It feels like somebody has taken out handwritten pages from a very old worn-out diary, scanned them and got them printed. Each drawing reminds me of my own childhood days and what waits ahead as my toddler earns the craft. Really, of you want to have a funny moment with the family, get this book and read it aloud.

My son loves to hear this book

My daughter is 20 months old and enjoyed this book so much. I usually read by her name instead of Duncan and she like it so much. She started taking the color recommendation so seriously that she started coloring inside the line and making black beach balls. This is absolute book for each kids who know crayon and i believe every kid should read this once in a lifetime. Even adult would enjoy too. Book had good pictures and beautiful illustration by Drew Daywalt. These two guys did great job making this book successful and awareness of color to kids.

Can’t get enough of this book!

Un libro muy chulo y divertido para los peques. Un buen regalo. Las ilustraciones están muy bien

Mon fils de 2 ans apprend les couleurs en ce moment et ce livre est drôle et parfait pour ça. Chouette à offrir et agréable pour les parents aussi (ce qui n'est pas négligeable quand les enfants aiment qu'on leur lise 70 fois la même histoire jour après jour). C'est vrai pour tout les album de cet auteur: Jeffers fait des livres que les parents aiment raconter et que les enfant aiment écouter et regarder.

かわいい絵本。子どもが楽しく読んでいます。物にも命があるように感じることができたのか、他の物も大切に扱うようになりました。

Die Wachsstifte ziehen aus, weil sie mit der allgemeinen Situation (LOL) unzufrieden sind. In mehreren Briefen werden die Gründe für die Entscheidung geklärt. Ich finde die Geschichte kreativ und lustig und alles andere als langweilig. Es kostet am Anfang etwas Zeit die Texte simultan auf Deutsch zu übersetzen aber weil diese unkompliziert sind, klappt das eigentlich ganz gut. Und die Bilder sind auch schön. Meine Kinder haben viel Spaß mit dem Buch und ich lese es auch total gerne vor.. und weil wir die Geschichte sehr mögen haben wir uns das 2. Buch über die Rückkehr der Crayons bereits bestellt ;)
