Wishlist Wednesday: The Day the Crayons Came Home

I don't normally put books on Wishlist Wednesday posts, but this one I absolutely need to add to our family library! 

Have you read The Day The Crayons Quit? In case you don't remember, 

"Poor Duncan just wants to color. But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only letters, all saying the same thing: His crayons have had enough! They quit! Beige Crayon is tired of playing second fiddle to Brown Crayon. Black wants to be used for more than just outlining. Blue needs a break from coloring all those bodies of water. And Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking—each believes he is the true color of the sun. What can Duncan possibly do to appease all of the crayons and get them back to doing what they do best?"

Well, they're BACK! 

"I'm not sure what it is about this kid Duncan, but his crayons sure are a colorful bunch of characters! Having soothed the hurt feelings of one group who threatened to quit, Duncan now faces a whole new group of crayons asking to be rescued. From Maroon Crayon, who was lost beneath the sofa cushions and then broken in two after Dad sat on him; to poor Turquoise, whose head is now stuck to one of Duncan's stinky socks after they both ended up in the dryer together; to Pea Green, who knows darn well that no kid likes peas and who ran away—each and every crayon has a woeful tale to tell and a plea to be brought home to the crayon box. Look for a special glow-in-the-dark picture"

We just LOVED The Day The Crayons Quit and I am excited that there's a second book (actually, there's a third too... How the Crayons Saved the Rainbow). I'm putting this on Cocoa Puff's birthday wishlist, so hopefully we will get this then! 

Do you love to read?
