In 2013, Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers' picture book, The Day the
Crayons Quit, became a #1 bestselling smash-hit. It featured a boy
named Duncan and his funny, disgruntled cast of crayons who decided
enough was enough--it was time to walk off the job. Luckily, Duncan
managed to convince them to come back to work and a second book was
born, The Day the Crayons Came Home, in which a new cast of crayons
found themselves displaced--and not all in one piece--in need of finding
a way home. Now these two books are available together for the first
time in a joint slipcased edition.
What's better than receiving a copy of The Day the Crayons Quit or
The Day the Crayons Came Home? Receiving them both! A must-have gift
purchase for the holiday season, The Day the Crayons Quit Slipcase is
a timely and handy offering for fans who've already fallen in love with
these funny books and those who will take delight in discovering these
colorful tales.
