![]() ![]() These pleas and confessions, these perspectives on abandonment, self-worth, friendship, and wanderlust might just give us pause when throwing out old art supplies … and listening to children's playtime. Most of us are pretty haphazard with our crayons. In the words of my 6-year-old, “ The Day The Crayons Came Home is hilarious, too!” Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers’ follow-up to huge bestseller The Day The Crayons Quit is like a snapshot of those childhood voiceovers, and it certainly lives up to the international hype - for parents and kids alike. Sometimes Wonder Woman saves the day (and the boys) sometimes a plastic lion figure relays to his pride the frightening truth of impending stormtroopers. I don’t specifically remember giving voice to the plight of my crayons, but I was one of those kids that personified every plastic dinosaur, every trinket, every doll (almost all of them named Bob).Īs a parent now, I see and hear those unexpected imaginative moments drifting from my son’s room, and they’re usually equal parts sentimental and hilarious, often stuffed with remarkable observations. ![]()
