I think it is good but it's just a bit long for a bedtime book

22 Jul 2025

I like it because they are broken and they are going on adventures to come back to the house. And Duncan makes a good crayon fort. I find it really funny!

This is a good book my favourite character is the Neon Red crayon because it had a long journey through lots of different places.

My favourite crayon was maroon crayon because he is only connected by a paper clip.

I would recommend this book to a friend, it is very popular at school.

Every crayon sent mails to Duncan . They all were broken. Then Duncan made a big house where all the crayons could live .

My favourite part was the ending where the crayons who wanted to escape had been built a home to live in. I found it a lot to listen to all the information on the postcards.

I liked it when the neon crayon said he was in the Amazon Rainforest when he was actually in the North Pole.
My favourite colour crayon was yellow and orange!

I like it when Duncan makes a place for all of his crayons. It is really funny when neon red crayon says he’s in Newcastle, does Newcastle have giant pyramids!? No that’s Egypt! My favourite crayon is yellow crayon but he got stuck to orange crayon in the sun. I would recommend this book for 4yrs and up.

I read this straight after The Day The Crayons Quit. The funniest bit was when yellow and orange melted together in the sun and now they want green to be the colour of the sun. I like these stories a lot.

I liked when the crayons built the big house at the end.

The letters were difficult to read as they were written in crayon but it was a really good book to read because it was funny

A sequel - post cards from the more unusual coloured crayons about how they got left behind in one way or another. I thought it was really funny and inventive.
