We are great fans of Oliver Jeffers' here at the Smiling like Sunshine Headquarters so when we received his latest book, my heart was filled with happiness as I was sure the children would love this book, too. Written by Drew Daywalt and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers, these books are a wonderful addition to your child's bookshelf. I had written shortly about the previous book, The Day The Crayons Quit, here.
One day Duncan receives a set of postcards from his crayons who have been lost, forgotten, broken – even melted in a clothes dryer and stuck to a pair underpants!He feels very sad when reading these postcards from his lost, broken or neglected crayons therefore he creates a place where “each crayon would always feel at home.” What a clever story!
The story is captivating and the illustrations are just stunning. Both the children and I had lots of fun reading it. There is a glow in the dark page which is also interesting for the children.
I was asked to tell you what color crayon I would be. So I asked Defne and Derin and they chose purple and turqoise as these are their favourite colours.
Disclosure: We recieved the book from its publisher for review purposes. All opinion our own.
