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 Black wants to be used for more than just outlining. And Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking—each believes he is the true color of the sun.
What can Duncan possibly do to appease all of the crayons and get them back to doing what they do best?
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. Join in on the fun and games. Find out why the crayons are mad and how Duncan takes care of this dilemma!

The Day the Crayons Came Home
Drew Daywalt
Duncan's Crayons are back with yet another wild range of colorful demands!
Boy, Duncan's crayons sure are a colorful bunch of characters. Having soothed the hurt feelings of one group who threatened to quit, Duncan now faces a whole new group of crayons asking to be rescued!
From Maroon Crayon, who was lost beneath the sofa cushions and then broken in two after dad sat on him; to Turquoise, whose head is now stuck to one of Duncan's stinky socks after they ended up in the dryer together—each crayon has a woeful tale to tell and a plea to be brought home to the crayon box.
Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers have combined once more to create a companion book every bit as funny and as kid-friendly as their #1 bestselling 'The Day the Crayons Quit' (2013). It's sure to delight children and inspire refrigerator door paintings for generations to come!
