In The Day the Crayons Quit, young Duncan discovers that the crayons in his box are tired of the way they're being treated. His pictures are all similar, some colours are used too much and others never seem to get picked. With child-friendly sarcastic humour and illustrations that really support the text, this book is as popular with grown-ups as it is with their kids. Throughout the book, read letters sent by each crayon to announce their resignation.

Ideally suited to children around primary school age, but with detailed illustrations that will captivate younger readers, The Day the Crayons Quit is a fun addition to any bookshelf.
