you have to quit if you are tired
It was fiction and I liked pink crayon the best.I would recommend it to all of my friends because I think they would like it too.
I liked how all the crayons were used at the end and it was funny.
Where orange and yellow said that there the colours of the sun
This was a very good book - I like fiction books. I would recommend this. I love the letters from all the crayons. My favourite crayons are yellow and orange (I think I'm siding with orange on the 'who should be the colour of the sun' argument').
I like how orange and yellow were fighting to see who was really the Sun
It's good, imaginative and fun
I like the author, Oliver Jeffers because he is very imaginative. I like the book because the crayons have 'everyday' problems, the storyline is funny and goofy.The book was non-fiction. I would recommend it to goofy and funny people.It is perfect for ages up to 10.
I liked this book its really funny.
Loved this book, it was really cool and lots of cool pictures inside it.
My favourite crayon was blue crayon, i liked how he coloured rivers and oceans with it.
I would definitely recommend it to others
it is hallarious.
Blue was my favourite crayon because I like blue! The naked peach crayon made my laugh. The book was the best book because I have 5 points and it had the colour blue.
Good.
I would recommend it to Poppy and Sophia and Scarlett.
I liked it because it was about the crayons Quit
This was a quick and fun read. Other than the intro and outro, the entire book was letters from the crayons to Duncan. The illustrations were wonderful, full of colour and drawn in actual crayon. The story was that each crayon was upset for a specific reason, and so Duncan draws a picture taking into account what each crayon said; he was then awarded a well done sticker and a gold star for this picture.
I would recommend this book because it was fun. The book can also be interpreted as treating people with respect and understanding / adapting to people's different needs and values.
I loved this book. Helps children understand about different feelings. Very creative way and good for transitions.
Excellent book, fantastic for letter writing and characters.
I love the day the crayons quit so much because it has lots of funny things that the crayons write to Duncan!
i give this a 5 because at the end is very funny as a clue peach crayon haha if you want to find out more then why don't you feel free to go and buy the book and read it,you never know it could be your favirote book
It's about some crayons that have had enough of doing drawings
funny and colourful
It makes me laugh because the crayons write themselves! My favourite is red.
The book is about a bunch of crayons that quit doing their job because Duncan wasn't doing what they liked.
It was funny that the crayons all wrote letters to Duncan.
I liked it because it was funny. I liked green crayon
This is a very funny book as each crayon is annoyed about something such as being used too much or hardly at all.
I liked this book because it was funny and the way it was written by the crayons.
After reading the day the crayons came home I thought I would read this book and see if it is as good as that. Well it is brilliant it explains why the crayons aren’t happy and why they would like to be used more. This book made me think about what my crayons would say to me if they could write. The morrow of this story is to use all your colours even if you think the picture would look silly.
I would recommend this book to everyone that cares and enjoys colouring as this will make them think more about all the crayons that they use and even the ones that they don’t. Excellent book
I loved Peach Crayon as he was very funny. I also liked Duncan's picture at the end of the book.
I loved this book
I loved this book all my favourite colours
