This books focues on a boy named Ducan and his crayons. Duscan has lost, neglacted or broke crayons over the years and the crayons are finally writting postcards to Duncan saying they want to come back. Each crayon color right to Ducan where they are and how they got. They also tell him that they miss him and what to come back home, home meaning their crayon box. Duncan feels horrible about forgetting about his crayons and when he finds all of them he realizes they wont fit into the box because some have lost their shape over the years. Duncan decides to build them a new box and much bigger box. Of course the crayons love their new home and are happy to be back with Duncan. This story a fun fill fantasy becaue it is a real life event that happens meaning children lose their toys and things happen to them and we tend to forget about them easily. But its a fantasy because the crayons are talking and writting postacards which is a human trait.

Fun
I like the book, it's interesting so far. I bought it for my 8 year old son as a Christmas present. Since he likes the first book when the crayons quit I am sure he's gonna like this one too! The only thing I don't like is that size of the book, I think it's a little too big for a kid to carry it in his backpack since they have other school supplies too.

I loved the art, it was as if my 6 year old drew it and I know it would make a fun read aloud to my classroom. I think the crayon fort spoke to every kid I've ever met!caliesunshine

4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser05/20/2017In this amusing follow...In this amusing follow-up to their initial collaboration, The Day the Crayons Quit, author Drew Daywalt and illustrator Oliver Jeffers return to the theme of discontented crayons who communicate their complaints to their young owner by means of notes. In this collection, we have a number of crayons who have gone missing or been abandoned, and who want to be returned to their home. From the geographically confused Neon Red, who imagines he is in New Jersey whilst seeing the pyramids at Giza, to Orange and Yellow, who argued in the first title about which should be the color of the sun, only to find themselves melted together by the heat of that heavenly body, the crayons here just want to come back to the crayon box. All, that is, save Pea Green (AKA Esteban the Magnificent), who decides to embark on an adventure of his own... Like its predecessor, The Day the Crayons Came Home is a humorous look at a group of crayons and their various misadventures. These crayons communicate with Duncan via postcards, and their experiences reflect the fact that children are not always very careful with their belongings, and that those belongings sometimes end up in odd places, and in rather poor condition. My favorite of the lot was Esteban, whose multiple postcards to Duncan punctuate the other crayons' missives, and follow him on his (very short) effort at independence. The artwork here, again like its predecessor, is not a personal favorite, aesthetically speaking, but matches the tale to perfection, capturing the 'scribbly' feeling of a child's own first coloring and drawing attempts. Recommended to anyone who enjoyed the first picture-book about the crayons, or to those looking for children's stories with a good sense of fun and humor.AbigailAdams26

It goes about the colors talking about why people don't like them such as the pea green.The crayons talk about how sad they are because they feel left behind. They talk about personal stories that each crayon has gone through.For example, the turquoise crayon got his head stuck to a sock because he ended up in the dryer. The illiustrations look like a child could have drawn them on some of the pages but they are really realistic.Miriahharrison

In it, Duncan's lost, left behind, or forgotten crayons are writing him postcards telling him where they are so that he can come find them. In the postcards, the crayons give great detail into what has happened to them since Duncan has last seen them. The best part, I believe, are the multiple postcards that Neon Red Crayon is sending Duncan, with completely inaccurate descriptions of where he is (riding a camel through New Jersey, with pyramids in the background).childrenslitpdx

Some of the crayons send multiple postcards from different countries, states and even rooms in the house, creating an ongoing narrative of their adventures home.npetzold

Creative, original and silly, this book was so much fun to read. I loved each crayons story of where they had been and a look back on fun times they were lost or forgotten and pleading to come home. Great book!JPEmmrich5
