Review
This book will get kids reading, imagining, and coloring with their crayons. It tells the tale of several crayons who have quit their job. Some crayons complain about over or underuse. Orange and yellow argue over who should be the color of the sun. The text of this book, being mostly letters written by the crayons to their owner, has been brilliantly integrated with the illustrations. This book could be used at home or in a classroom to inspire the creative use of colors in children’s drawings. Highly Recommended. Taylor Wilcox, Centennial Library Intern, Cedarville University
