The sequel to the widely popular and successful book, The Day the Crayons Quit, is the perfect companion for fans.
2015 was the best year for children’s books, with “The Day the Crayons Came Home” winning the Goodreads Choice Award for Best Picture Book. This book has received praise for its colorful characters and entertaining story. The main character, Duncan, is a kid who is unsure about what 2015 has in store for him. However, his feelings are soothed when a new group of crayons is rescued and his stinky socks are stuck together in the dryer. Duncan’s poor turquoise crayon gets its head stuck in one of the socks, and after a series of mishaps, including losing a maroon crayon under the sofa cushions, he pleads for all the crayons to be brought back home. Each crayon has its own woeful tale, like the green pea crayon who likes to run away. “The Day the Crayons Came Home” was named one of the top ten children’s books of 2015 by Parents Magazine and Weekly Publishers.
More humorous than the original highly successful movie by the creators, according to Parents Magazine.
