The Day the Crayons Quit Series

(228 reviews)

The Day the Crayons Quit series by Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers is a witty and imaginative collection of picture books that delights children aged 4+, while encouraging emotional expression, empathy, and creative thinking.

Beginning with the bestselling The Day the Crayons Quit, the series introduces Duncan’s crayons—each with a strong personality and a heartfelt complaint, from overuse to being left behind. Told through humorous letters and paired with Oliver Jeffers’ distinctive illustrations, these books invite children to see the world from different perspectives and reflect on fairness, self-worth, and friendship.

Ideal for shared reading at home or in the classroom, the series opens up discussions about emotions, individuality, and how we treat others—all through playful, colour-themed storytelling. Rich in vocabulary and layered with humour, the books also offer opportunities for drama, writing, and art-based activities, making them a favourite for early years and KS1 teachers.

Both heartwarming and hilarious, The Day the Crayons Quit series helps children explore big feelings in a brilliantly original way—making it a must-have for developing empathy and imagination.
