Creepy Crayon! by Aaron Reynolds

5.0

---

There's such fun and humor injected into this creepy children's picture book. Children won't understand, but the adults reading might catch on to the distinctly 1960's Twilight Zone camera angle of the illustrations to the story itself. In the Talking Tina episode, the child's father tries to dispose of her doll in several dramatic ways, only for the doll to return in perfect condition every time--hence the premise of this story, and the crayon with extraordinary powers that can't seem to be disposed of. I loved the suspenseful open ending!
