The Crayons' Book of Colors

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The Crayons are back and brighter than ever in this small, sturdy board book, from the creators of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Day the Crayons Quit. The perfect way to bring the fun of the Crayons to their youngest fanbase!

Gray crayon has colored a rhino, a hippo, and an elephant.
Blue crayon has colored an ocean, clouds, rain, and a river.

It's Duncan's birthday, and all the Crayons want to make him a card! With their fun and quirky illustrations of firetrucks, dragons, and (dare we say?) wheat, these creative Crayons each have something different to contribute. When they come together, they can make something truly spectacular to celebrate Duncan's birthday!

From the creative minds behind The Day the Crayons Quit and The Day the Crayons Came Home, comes a fun approach to introducing young readers to colors.
