Poor Duncan just wants to color. But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only letters, all saying the same thing: We quit!
Beige is tired of playing second fiddle to Brown. Blue needs a break from coloring all that water, while Pink just wants to be used. Green has no complaints, but Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking to each other.
What is Duncan to do? Debut author Drew Daywalt and New York Times bestseller Oliver Jeffers create a colorful solution in this playful, imaginative story that will have children laughing and playing with their crayons in a whole new way.

I really liked the illustrations for this book. They were awesome and did a great job at showing the story. Both girls really enjoyed reading this story. They laughed a lot. I think the idea of having the crayons write letters to Duncan was fun. I also like the message of the story that the crayons are tired of being used for the same things all the time. So Duncan decides to create a picture that uses all the colors in different and new ways. Which shows creativity. This story is entertaining and I think both younger and older children (Elementary School aged) will enjoy reading this story.
