Poor Duncan just wants to color. But when he opens his box of crayons, all he finds are letters, all saying the same thing: His crayons have had enough! They've given up. Beige Crayon is tired of playing second fiddle to Brown Crayon. Black wants to be used for something other than just outlining. Blue needs a break from coloring all those bodies of water. And Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking; each believes they are the true color of the sun.
What can Duncan do to appease all the crayons and get them back to doing what they do best?
Children will imagine their own humorous conversations with crayons and color a blue streak after sharing laughs with Drew Daywalt and New York Times best-selling illustrator Oliver Jeffers. This story is perfect as a back-to-school gift, for all budding artists, for fans of humorous books like Mo Willems' Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith's The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, and for fans of Oliver Jeffers' Stuck, The Incredible Book Eating Boy, Lost and Found, and This Moose Belongs to Me.
