Highly recommend!
My kids love The Day the Crayons Quit and honestly, I love it even more! It’s such a clever and funny story, full of personality and creativity. Each crayon has its own voice and attitude, which makes reading it aloud so much fun for both kids and adults. The illustrations are adorable, and the message about empathy, teamwork, and self-expression is wonderful. It’s one of those rare children’s books that parents actually look forward to reading again and again. Highly recommend!

A Box of Brilliance: 'The Day the Crayons Quit' Delights!
5/5 stars I recently purchased "The Day the Crayons Quit" by Drew Daywalt and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers for my 7-year-old daughter. I am absolutely delighted with this book! The story is clever, humorous, and engaging. The crayons, each with their own unique personality, decide to quit their job and express their frustrations through hilarious letters to their owner, Duncan. The illustrations are vibrant, whimsical, and perfectly complement the story. My daughter was completely enthralled by the book and couldn't stop giggling at the crayons' antics. The story sparked a great conversation about creativity, self-expression, and the importance of using our imagination. The book's physical quality is also top-notch. The pages are sturdy, and the cover is beautifully designed. The price was very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the book. Overall, I highly recommend "The Day the Crayons Quit" to parents, educators, and anyone who loves a good story. It's a wonderful addition to any home or classroom library.

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.

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.
