The Day The Crayons Quit
Illustrator/author extraordinaire Oliver Jeffers has teamed up this time with writer Drew Daywalt to make this very witty, New York Times bestseller 'The Day The Crayons Quit', which tells the story of Duncan and his box of disgruntled crayons...
...click on images to enlarge and read the letters which white and green write to Duncan...
...and I love Beige's woes, "I am BEIGE and I'm proud of it. I'm also tired of being second place to Mr. Brown. It's not fair that Brown gets all the bears, ponies and puppies while the only things I get are turkey dinners (if I'm lucky) and wheat, and let's be honest - when was the last time you saw a kid excited about colouring wheat?"...

The Very Big Carrot
Thank you to Eerdmans Books for sending The Very Big Carrot my way. Eerdmans consistently creates little works of art in book form. With its colorful matte cover, subtle endpapers and Satoe Tone’s richly painted orange and green pictures, The Very Big Carrot is no exception.
The story is simple. Six rabbits discover a very big carrot and try to think of "the very best way to use it.” Maybe they could make it into a boat, an airplane (that resembles a zeppelin), or a house. With this clear premise and lushly detailed illustrations these bunnies with big plans will engage toddlers as well as their parents.
