The Day The Crayons Quit

Product Information

Despite my few reservations, I do highly recommend the book, either for read aloud (one to one or for groups) and for independent readers too, if their reading skills are sufficiently advanced to be able to read slightly atypically written letters in various colors.

The same year the book came out, a television show came out based on the book called the The Crayon Box. Again, the Daywalt book is extremely similar. So since both stories are exactly the same idea with even similar jokes, where the only difference is the message, why is everyone acting like this new Crayon book is so original and awesome? I don't get it. And really, if you had a choice to show your child only one of the books, which one would YOU choose? The more poetic older book with the classic illustrations and lets-all-hold-hands and learn vibe? Or the newer book, with less of a resolution but more giggling? I mean, which one are they truly going to learn from? What are picture books for? White Crayon is sad he is so invisible. This lament is accompanied by a hilarious illustration titled: White Cat in the Snow by Duncan. LOL LOL A cute little books about Duncan's box of crayons. He goes to use them and discovers a pile of letters from various colors. The letters are mildly amusing, but the accompanying pictures are even better, illustrating each crayon's issue in a spot-on child-like style.In the story, Duncan normally uses his colours to colour things the ‘right’ colour. Talk with your children about what using the ‘right’ colour means. Do the children always colour their drawings in the ‘correct’ colour? If not, why do they sometimes choose to use a different colour? To build the skill of empathy, encourage the children to talk about their feelings towards each individual crayon: The students can choose to either handwrite, type – Microsoft program – Word or use both options to be created and displayed. The students will create visual objects that represent their reply to the crayons and the crayons or crayon to Duncan. For example: Create a larger crayon box for all the crayons, have several multi-coloured larger crayons so that the individual coloured crayons are not always used too much. Now, I have been looking around for some picture books that were heavily raved about by various readers and I just happened to stumble upon this unique book called “The Day the Crayons Quit” by Drew Daywalt along with illustrations by Oliver Jeffers. Honestly, this book was truly creative and interesting to read all the way through!
