Busy week, not much time to read.
But I just finished this little gem and I can't stop laughing.

I am a huge fan of The Day the Crayons Quit and my students love hearing it read aloud. I can't wait to share this one as well. The authors are so clever, I don't know how they think of such creative ideas. After reading these books, you will never look at crayons the same way again.

Lewis has his moments, but a novel in verse. Sigh. Just not my favorite. Will have to take a look, since we do a bit with this time period. Thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteCrayons, right??? I've read it countless times and I love it more after each read. Daywalt did an amazing job imagining the personalities of the crayons!
ReplyDeleteI am SO happy about The Day the Crayons Came Home! My students love it and so do I.
ReplyDeleteI read parts of The Day The Crayons Came Home, but still need to get it so I can read it all. It would be such a good mentor text for writing, too.
