The Day the Crayons Came Home — Drew Daywalt

The Number One New York Times Bestseller and a riot of colour from start to finish! Drew Daywalt and award-winning illustrator Oliver Jeffers reunite for a hilarious, heartfelt sequel that's every bit as imaginative as the original. This time, Duncan isn't getting letters of complaint — he's getting postcards!

One day Duncan receives a stack of postcards from his crayons, who have somehow ended up lost, forgotten and far from home. There's Maroon Crayon, who was broken in two and abandoned down the back of the sofa; Turquoise, stuck to a smelly sock fresh out of the dryer; Pea Green, who has run away entirely; and poor, melted Esteban the Magnificent (formerly known as Yellow). Each one is desperate to come home.

Can Duncan find a way to bring his beloved, battered crayons back where they belong? A warm, funny and wonderfully inventive tale about love, loss and the things we leave behind — perfect for fans of The Day the Crayons Quit.
