LOL LOL We see Pea Green, oh, excuse me, I mean Esteban the Magnificent putting on his cape and running heroically. Yellow and Orange (as you remember they were fighting about who was the “true color of the sun” in Book One) are now fused together in an unholy mutation after being left out in the aforementioned sun. Books have always been our thing as a family. This definitely would have been one of our favorites. Who knows, can still be someday 😂

While this is a fairly bland treatment compared to Deborah Lee Rose and Carey Armstrong-Ellis’ The Twelve Days of Kindergarten (2003), it basically gets the job done. This new cast of crayons will entertain readers, and admirers of the first book will be pleased to see a few familiar colors. (Picture book. 3-7) Create a story about ‘Estaban the Magnificent’ (also known as Pea Green crayon). What adventures does he have when he tries to run away to see the world? What I like most about Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers The Day The Crayons Came Home is how freakin’ utterly hilarious this book is. The final activity at the end the book is explore two skills: empathy and kindness. Qualities the world ALWAYS needs every day.
