This book is a #1 bestseller and I know why. It's funny and original and by acclaimed author and illustrator Oliver Jeffers.

 When the crayons in the library get worn out, it's always the red and blue that are missing. Do they get stolen? Do they break more easily? No - this books let's each crayons speak for itself.

Think of how often you use the color red? And whose favorite color is blue (most boys!). This hilarious tale written by Drew Daywalt and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers is fun, fun, fun!

Teachers, this book is ideal for a persuasive letter writing lesson.
