Book Synopsis

What's better than receiving a copy of The Day the Crayons Quit or The Day the Crayons Came Home? Receiving them both! A must-have for collectors and fans of the Crayons cast, this slipcase is a timely and handy offering for new and returning readers alike!

In The Day the Crayons Quit, Duncan's funny, disgruntled crayons decide enough is enough--it's time to walk off the job. Luckily, Duncan manages to convince them to come back to work, and a second book is born: The Day the Crayons Came Home, in which a new cast of crayons finds themselves displaced--and not all in one piece--as they try to find a way home.

Available together for the first time, this boxed set makes the perfect gift for Crayons fans of all ages!
