Interpretation As Books The Day the Crayons Came Home (Crayons)
The companion to the #1 blockbuster bestseller, The Day the Crayons Quit!I'm not sure what it is about this kid Duncan, but his crayons sure are a colorful bunch of characters! Having soothed the hurt feelings of one group who threatened to quit, Duncan now faces a whole new group of crayons asking to be rescued. From Maroon Crayon, who was lost beneath the sofa cushions and then broken in two after Dad sat on him; to poor Turquoise, whose head is now stuck to one of Duncan's stinky socks after they both ended up in the dryer together; to Pea Green, who knows darn well that no kid likes peas and who ran away—each and every crayon has a woeful tale to tell and a plea to be brought home to the crayon box.
Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers have combined to create a companion book every bit as funny and kid-friendly as the #1 bestselling The Day the Crayons Quit.

This was a cute audiobook on youtube about what happened to Duncan's other crayons. They send him postcards telling him where they are at and ask them to bring him home. A great sequel to the day the crayons quit. If you'd like to listen to it, please go here and enjoy. The narrator did a great job. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKjQ5... . You can also find this book at your local library and wherever books are sold.The Crayons are back!Of course, after reading The Day the Crayons Quit the story's not so new, and yet it was fun. Kids would enjoy finding some familiar faces from the first book ....and meet some new ones. Some crayons want to see the world. A few of them wants to come home ... poor left behind crayons. Some have identity issues .... and some seek shelter. P.S. I loved Esteban the Magnificent ... the crayon formerly known as PEA GREEN! Go Esteban!
Not as good as the original but fun to have a sequel. The Day the Crayons Quit is my daughters favorite.
I just finished this picture book with my eight year old. Like the prequel The Day the Crayons Quit, this was a cute and clever book. My daughter really enjoyed it but stated that she liked the first one better.In this book the less often used crayons are the primary characters, and they send postcards to Duncan to explain where they have been since they went missing. The illustrations are nice. My favorite part of the book was all of the hilarious postcards from Neon Red. The textured page for
Picked this up to kill two challenges with one book. This book is adorable, loved how each crayon managed to have a story and a personality. The author also used postcards to tell Duncan (the boy owner of the crayons) to rescue them and bring them home! One I will have to remember if I ever have a chance to read a story to a child.
Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers understand the terrible fate that awaits so many crayons. I thought THE DAY THE CRAYONS QUIT was fun, but this takes it to a whole new level. The text is in the form of postcards, mostly, as the crayons write back to let their owner new that some of them have been lost, broken, or have simply run away. Some were forgotten on vacation, or under couches. Some have melted in the sun, or suffered terrible fates at the hands of household pets. A tad gross, a tad
I am reading, as I did the last two years, all the November nominees for the Goodreads Children's illustrated book award. Last year I read Daywalt and Jeffers' The Day the Crayons Quit and I really liked it. This is a sequel, and now the crayons are on their way home, preceded by mostly vintage postcards to a kid from various places far and near (the couch, the basement, various foreign countries.. .). As I saw it, it's like one joke extended over a whole book, like the last book, but still, it
