Book #2- Fantasy

Title: The Day The Crayons Quit 

Author: Drew Daywalt 
Illustrator: Oliver Jeffers

Publication: Philomel Books 
Publication Date: 2013

ISBN #: 978-0-399-25537-3

Brief Summary: This is a hysterical book about crayons who wrote a letter to their owner Duncan. Each crayon had their own problem with Duncan's coloring that they each addressed to Duncan in their own letter. After reading all the letters Duncan colored an awesome picture at school which got an A plus for creativity.  

Evaluation: This author really has quite an imagination. This idea is so unique and hysterical I know that children of any age would really enjoy reading this book. Most of the illustrations were drawn with crayon but there were also realistic illustrations that seemed to pop off of the page! I laughed out loud while reading each crayons letter and I know you will too! 

Rating: 5 out of 5 crayons!
