Why read it?
1 author picked The Day the Crayons Came Home as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love the humor of this book just as much as my kids do. It’s clever and an excellent example of a perfect sequel to a well-loved first book, The Day the Crayons Quit.
In the story, missing crayons write postcards home, explaining their journeys or why they’re missing. The new crayons that are introduced are hilarious, and there are some great references to crayons from the first book. The postcard format makes it a fun and unique read.
