The day the crayons quit
1
Duncan, a little boy just wants to color and his
crayons appear to be on strike. Each color indicates through letters to Duncan
complaints about what their specific color is can do or their restrictions.

This genre has a little bit of everything. It is
an imaginative story set with the crayons acting like people. The picture-book
has the crayons expressing in a way that just doesn’t happen.

Having children come up with their own stories
via letters using different color crayons . Another activity could be a scrap
book children’s own illustrations to match the colors they use.

The Saint Leo core value are felt is the reading
for it does not appear to be profane, is geared to children for it allows them
to be just that children. It teaches respect for the individual character and
respect for the diversity of each character illustrated, the crayons.

The day the crayon quit, by Drew Daywalt with
illustrations by oliver Jeffers is very funny and is obvious with the first
page. So much that human’s do is accepted and taken for granted. What is our
cars quit, or animal (our pets) refused to be loving. What if doors opened when
we wanted to or not. How about all of these sending us letters complaining
about what they do for us and hao0w much we take them for granted. It would be
both funny, mysterious and alarming.

Daywalt, D. (2013). The day the crayons quit.

I love this book! I would have students create an alternate ending to the book. I would ask them what they would do if the crayons didn't come back together. This helps them with creativity because they can make their own endings to the story. I would also have the students give problem solving ideas to the book. I think that helps a lot with their critical thinking skills.
