Product description
You can always rely on Oliver Jeffers’ books to feel completely original. Now he’s teamed up with new author Drew Daywalt in a book simply bursting with quirky wit. Drawing a picture is lots of work. Now these crayons have had enough. When Duncan opens his crayon box, all he finds is notes which say ‘we quit’. Orange and Yellow are bitter rivals. Blue is sick of water. Beige feels unloved. Will they ever draw pictures together again? This bestseller will make you laugh like crazy and use your art kit in a whole new way. Thank goodness Oliver’s crayons didn’t quit until he finished it.
“Hilarious picture book brilliance.” Books for Keeps
- New York Times number 1 bestseller.

Melissa
on 9 May 2022Not at all enjoyable
This book is a bit too aggressive. Totally not for children. Basically, every colour represents a person with awful communication skills.
