ReviewsGoodreads' 2013 Picture Book of the Year! Amazon's Best Picture Book of the Year! A Barnes & Noble Best Book of 2013! * "Making a noteworthy debut, Daywalt composes droll missives that express aggravation and aim to persuade, while Jeffers's ( This Moose Belongs to Me ) crayoned images underscore the waxy cylinders' sentiments: each spread features a facsimile of a letter scrawled, naturally, in the crayon's hue; a facing illustration evidences how Duncan uses the crayon, as in a picture of a giant elephant, rhino, and hippo (Gray laments, 'That's a lot of space to color in all by myself'). These memorable personalities will leave readers glancing apprehensively at their own crayon boxes."-- Publishers Weekly, starred review -- Publisher's Weekly "Jeffers delivers energetic and playful illustrations. The drawings are loose and lively, and with few lines, he makes his characters effectively emote. Clever spreads, such as Duncan's 'white cat in the snow' perfectly capture the crayons' conundrum, and photographic representations of both the letters and coloring pages offer another layer of texture, lending to the tale's overall believability. A comical, fresh look at crayons and color."-- Kirkus Reviews "Fresh and funny. Oliver Jeffers's quirky, joyful illustrations convey the strength and comedy of the crayons' sentiments, and children ages 4-8 will laugh in recognition at seeing their own color preferences reflected back at them."-- The Wall Street Journal "Hilarious. . . Each spread includes a reproduction of an actual letter (written in crayon, of course) on the verso, facing an appropriate composition such as a childlike crayon drawing or a colored-in page from a coloring book. The crayons themselves, with deceptively simple line and dot faces, are rich in emotion and character, and it's entertaining to consider each crayon's representation in light of the voice in its letter. While potential lessons in inference, point of view, and persuasive writing abound in the crayons' letters, this is guaranteed to see just as much use for being just plain fun. Move over, Click, Clack, Moo (BCCB 9/00); we've got a new contender for most successful picture-book strike."-- BCCB, **From THE WALL ST. JOURNA L ** "Fresh and funny.

Great book about color
It is a great book to help a toddler recognize and learn colors but there is a lot of verbiage so my 2 year old toddler boy gets a little bored towards the end. But he and I both enjoy it.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

I’m liking this!!
I bought this now classic childrens book just to see what all the good literary hype was all about. Now I know. This story’s style is at once simple yet revealing about our culture as it’s being received by the most vulnerable yet biologically wise amongst us -!little kids before the’ve been caught up in the darker undertones of our society writ large. Yet it has the foundation for right - and wrong! - attitudes and decisions built in to each crayon’s response to the common situation presented - going on strike! I admit I howled at the responses - so human yet so understandable and funny. I ordered this book because I’m working on a children’s book as an illustrator and wanted to be inspired both by layout and by how simple yet profound good literature is when you’re very young. Thanks, guys! You done good!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Very funny book!!
Clever book with great illustrations and funny for kids and adults who used to be kids! It should be read to children who are just learning to read because the text if printed handwriting, versus typed. I love that about the book but don't want buyers to think they can just hand it to a new reader and think they will be able to identify the letters and words. That said, I highly recommend!!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
