Review: such a cute and funny read for kids - This book is adorable and so clever. My daughter loves the way each crayon has its own personality and little story, and it keeps her engaged from start to finish. The illustrations are bright and playful and it is one of those books that is fun for adults to read too. It is the kind of story that makes kids laugh while also teaching a little bit about feelings and getting along. We have read it multiple times already and it has become an easy favorite on the shelf.
Review: Crayons on strike - This is a wonderful book. It is very creatively written and the graphics are beautiful. Not only is it a book for children, but adults will love it too! Very funny.
