I bought this book for my 6-year-old son. It’s funny for both kids and adults. . Don’t get me wrong.
Tells It Straight
There are 12 colours in all, in order of appearance:✩ RED★ PURPLE✩ BEIGE★ GREY✩ WHITE★ BLACK✩ GREEN★ YELLOW✩ ORANGE★ BLUE✩ PINK★ PEACH‘Well, poor Duncan just wanted to colour. We struggle a bit to read the yellow crayon's letter in low light at bedtime so we tend to ad lib that one! of the crayon box! 25 cm square, the paperback book has inner flap extensions with a summary of the story on the front one and, on the back, information about the author: DREW DAYWALT & the illustrator: OLIVER JEFFERS, of LOST and FOUND fame, nonchalantly mentioned, upside-down on the front cover of this book!

to their unsuspecting young owner, Duncan, to make a point (well several points, really). I think the idea is brilliant and the letters from the crayons are so charming. We adore it so much that we've almost collected all of the books in the Crayons series!

My son has a whole library of books and we read him at least 3 a day, but this is by far my favourite one to read. For a younger audience, the simple expressions on the faces of the crayons speak volumes and give scope for further discussion.

It's a real treasure and although my son is a bit young for it at the moment (it's probably best suited to 4+), we'll keep reading it as he loves the brightly coloured pages and the funny voices we give to each crayon. Bigger than I expected. Written as a young hand might; sometimes in capitals, sometimes with a loop, sometimes with a scribble out, and, generally, on a slant despite any lines, the story begins on the covers with a hint of just what might be inside.
