The Day the Crayons Quit

written by Drew Daywalt, illustrated by Olivers Steffers
Hennepin County Library hardcover picturebook

This is a lovely book! One day Duncan wakes to find that his crayons have left him notes about why they are quitting. The "letters" and drawings are such fun! Most of them are complaining about being overused (blue, red) or underused (pink) but their concerns range much further. My favorite letter is the one from green! Duncan solves the crayons' problems by making a beautiful drawing that uses all of them in a balanced way, earning him good grades in coloring and creativity. Fun book!
