Letters of Protest
THE DAY THE CRAYONS QUIT by Drew Daywalt with illustrations by Oliver Jeffers. Philomel, 2013.
It seems the crayons have a little problem with their owner, Duncan. Beige feels unloved; red is overworked. Pink is definitely underappreciated, too. One by one, all the crayons express their feelings. Here is a concept book featuring epistolary format. Looking for rigor? Look no further.
