#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A colorfully creative sequel to the runaway hit The Day the Crayons Quit that's "funnier than the creators' original blockbuster" (Parents) ONE OF THE BEST CHILDREN'S BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Time, Parents, The Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly "Continues its predecessor's pleasing, goofy conceit . . . Once again, both Daywalt's text and Jeffers' illustrations are endearing."--New York Times Book Review Poor Duncan His crayons sure are a colorful bunch of characters. In The Day the Crayons Quit, they threatened to walk off the job. Now, a whole new group of crayons have sent postcards asking to be rescued. From Maroon Crayon, who was lost beneath the sofa cushions and then broken in two after Dad sat on him; to poor Turquoise, who is stuck to one of Duncan's stinky socks after they both ended up in the dryer together; to Pea Green, who knows darn well that no kid likes peas, each and every crayon has a woeful tale to tell and a plea to be brought home to the crayon box. With real glow-in-the-dark neon ink, Drew Daywalt's laugh-out-loud text, and Oliver Jeffers' signature illustrations, The Day the Crayons Came Home delivers yet another kid-friendly message of belonging, self-expression, and the power of empathy.

Stakkars Duncan vil bare fargelegge. Men når han lukker opp boksen sin med fargestifter finner han istedet en bunke med brev, alle adressert til ham. Alle brevene sier det samme; FARGENE HAR FÅTT NOK! DE STREIKER! Beigefargen er lei av å alltid komme i skyggen av mørkebrun. Svart vil brukes til mer enn bare å tegne linjene rundt ting. Blå trenger sårt en pause fra å farge hav. Gul og orange er ikke lenger på talefot - fordi begge mener han er den rette fargen til solen. Hva kan Duncan gjøre for å gjøre fargene glade igjen? Med morsomt språk og fine illustrasjoner har Daywalt og Jeffers lagd en underholdende og lærerik bok til barn i alle aldre. Og moralen? Noen ganger er det tid for å bruke de fargestiftene man har på en ny måte. Alle mennesker kan komme inn i vante spor og vi trenger et lite dytt for å tenke nytt.
