But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only written letters, all saying the same thing: His crayons have had enough! They quit! Blue Crayon needs a break from coloring all those bodies of water. Black Crayon wants to be used for more than just outlining. And Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking—each believes <i>he</i> is the true color of the sun. What can Duncan possibly do to appease all the crayons and get them back to doing what they do best?<br><br>With giggle-inducing text from Drew Daywalt, and bold, bright illustrations from Oliver Jeffers, <i>The Day the Crayons Quit</i> is a modern classic.
