The Day the Crayons Came Home is the hilarious and ingenious sequel to The Day the Crayons Quit. This story features a new batch of lost, forgotten, or neglected crayons who are writing postcards home to Duncan to demand he retrieve them. The crayons have faced absurd plights, from being melted onto a sock to being eaten by a dog. Drew Daywalt’s witty, authentic letters and Oliver Jeffers' minimalist, expressive illustrations perfectly capture the humour of the crayons’ predicaments. It’s a wonderful, laugh-out-loud celebration of creativity, communication, and the enduring fun that comes from putting coloured pencils back to work.
