![]() ![]() ![]() I did often wonder what age range the author was aiming for – some of the jokes seemed a little too snarky for kids to understand - but it is funny. Nice theme for a children’s book, if the book went for making sense instead of laughs. Supposedly there is a general message of thinking outside the (crayon) box, if you will. And go home Yellow! According to Duncan's picture at the end, Orange is the winner. The colors say they are overused and so es them? Sorry Red! And too bad Blue! Your days are numbered. Each letter is from a different color, and bears an unhappy grievance. It tells the story of Duncan, a little boy who comes home to find his crayons missing and a stack of letters in their place. Potential Plagiarism? So I've now read The Day the Crayons Quit (Drew Daywalt/Oliver Jeffries) and well, I'm disappointed. ![]()
