Illustrated by
Oliver Jeffers.
The personified crayons who revolted against their little-boy owner, Duncan (The Day the Crayons Quit), send indignant postcards from their various travels. Ultimately, Duncan does right by his neglected crayons and finds a solution to which any self-respecting art supply could aspire. Zippy and delightfully full of itself, this clever epistolary picture book could stand alone.
