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.
2               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.
3               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.
4               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.
5               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.

  1. 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.
