  4th year in the New York Times Best Sellers for The Day the Crayons Quit

We're wishing a huge congratulations to Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers as The Day the Crayons Quit is in the New York Times Best Sellers for Children's Picture Books for the fourth consecutive year in a row!

Poor Duncan just wants to colour. But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only letters, all saying the same thing: His crayons have had enough! They quit! Beige Crayon is tired of playing second fiddle to Brown Crayon. Black wants to be used for more than just outlining. Blue needs a break from colouring all those bodies of water. And Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking—each believes he is the true colour of the sun. What can Duncan possibly do to appease all of the crayons and get them back to doing what they do best?
Published in the US by Philomel, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers, and in the UK by Penguin Random House, you can buy your very own copy of The Day the Crayons Quit here ...
