The companion to the #1 blockbuster bestseller The Day the Crayons Quit! I'm not sure what it is about this kid Duncan but his crayons sure are a colorful bunch of characters! Having soothed the hurt feelings of one group who threatened to quit Duncan now faces a whole new group of crayons asking to be rescued. From Maroon Crayon who was lost beneath the sofa cushions and then broken in two after Dad sat on him; to poor Turquoise whose head is now stuck to one of Duncan's stinky socks after they both ended up in the dryer together; to Pea Green who knows darn well that no kid likes peas and who ran away—each and every crayon has a woeful tale to tell and a plea to be brought home to the crayon box. Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers have combined to create a companion book every bit as funny and kid-friendly as the #1 bestselling The Day the Crayons Quit.
