The Day the Crayons Quit

The Day the Crayons Quit is a hilarious and utterly original picture book from Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers — the #1 New York Times bestselling duo behind one of the most beloved children's books of the decade. Winner of the E.B. White Read-Aloud Award and named one of The Atlantic's 65 Essential Children's Books, this modern classic celebrates creativity, self-expression, and the joy of coloring.

Poor Duncan just wants to color. But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only letters — and they all say the same thing: his crayons have had enough! They quit! Blue needs a break from coloring oceans, Black wants to be more than just an outline, and Orange and Yellow aren't speaking because each believes he is the true color of the sun. What can Duncan possibly do to get his crayons back to work?
