Adorable as usual. Such a charming premise.

I know I am an anomaly, but this sequel is not any more interesting to me than the first one. I find that I just don't really care that much about these crayons. The story has some cute jokes, but it drags on for me. My students loved the first one so I bought this one. I am pretty sure they will enjoy this one too. I was trying not to let my bias show last year when the first book was up for our state award. I read it with voices and lots of animation. Many of my students voted for The Day the Crayons Quit to win. I don't enjoy slapstick, but my students definitely do.

I actually think I liked this one a little more than the original. The sequel allowed for more character work and humor. Esteban is a treat.

Very very fantastic book and excellent characters (Esteban in particular). Would be great for in EYFS/Y1.

A sequel to The Day the Crayons Quit. The illustrations are adorable, and I love how the postcards that each crayon sends home looks handwritten. The ending is great because Duncan makes a home for all of his crayons. Parents and kids of all ages will enjoy this book.

As soon as I finished reading the previous book, I just KNEW there would be a sequel!
My kids just love this book.
The letters are a little hard to read sometimes, though..

This is such a silly, clever little book. It's funny even for adults! The illustrations are wonderful and add even more cleverness.
