The students love it. The reoccurring characters are clever. I think it relies a bit too heavily on easy puke/poop humor though.

Picasso said every child is an artist, but i dunno, i don't think he met your brother.

This was unexpected fun, i was looking at the winning list of 2015 for goodreads awards, and removing everything from my to read shelf, as i decided i don't want to read any novel just because it won this award anymore, and i reach the color books, and i see this, something told me let's read this.
I am glad i did, i was laughing since the beginning of the book.
Its not a big book so i will not spoil it, basically lost crayons are sending post cards to the kid who owns them, and they are super funny with different personalities and stories to tell!

I liked this one better than the first one. It was humorous and a fun read aloud.

Another cute picture book starring the crayons of a boy named Duncan. This time around the crayons send Duncan postcards explaining where they've been and why. Some ask for help getting back to Duncan's bedroom, some are trying to make the journey on their own, and are updating Duncan as to their progress. The artwork of the crayons is funny and perfectly matches their corresponding postcards. Lots to enjoy here!

Another that gets lauded for story time use but I felt was too long. It's a fine story and the illustrations are great, but I could absolutely see losing my audience a few pages in.

The crayons are back and have all gathered together to write their concerns. You are reading the letters they wrote to their person and each of them have something unique to say and some are a bit sassy. In the end they are heard out and all used more creatively! ~Ashley

This was... Fine. Lots of people have been really excited about it but I can't bring myself to love it like I loved The Day the Crayons Quit. I do hope there will be more books along this line and they will match the glory of the first. :)
