You can pre-order your copy direct from the Crayon Book website! We loved the characters, the illustrations and if you’re looking for a new book to share with your kids or class to inspire imaginations and have a chuckle, The Day the Crayons Came Home will do just that and more! The Day The Crayons Came Home receives a big thumbs up from us. And true to crayon form, the book ends with a positive, creative message that may get your kids thinking about the treatment of their own crayons!

My five year old was desperate to turn the page to uncover the next story, enjoying the amusing situations of each crayon – especially embarrassed Brown crayon. Chunky Crayon can’t take the toddler scribbles and nibbles any more and after an unfortunate sunny accident, yellow and orange no longer care for the true colour of the sun.Įach crayon oozes personality, who are brought to life by the perfect mix of Drew Daywalt’s witty and punchy writing style and Oliver Jeffers fun illustrations. Turquoise has a stinky sock stuck to its head, while Neon Red has embarked on a world-wide jaunt to return home. Written in a similar format to its predecessor, Duncan receives a pile of postcards from his lost, broken and aggrieved crayons. We’ve all found broken crayons lodged deep within the darkest depths of the sofa, under the bed, crushed up in pockets, alone in the toy box abyss or soaking in the bottom of the washing machine…right? T he Day the Crayons Came Home will have you smiling throughout, with that knowing acknowledgement of a familiar tale.

The Crayons are back with a hilarious follow-up to The Day the Crayons Quit!
