THE DAY THE CRAYONS QUIT by Drew Daywalt

Loved this concept! If crayons could speak, I guess they really would express their grievances in letters written to their owner, Duncan. Each had a distinct personality and complaint regarding their use, abuse or in the case of some, unuse. In the end, Duncan colors a picture using all the colors in a non-traditional way (pink dinosaurs, blue alligator, orange whale.) This book is a great way to inspire children to think outside the box when being creative, to not be held down to rigid notions of what is "right" and "wrong" when it comes to creativity.
