NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The hilarious Crayons are back with their first full-size picture book adventure since The Day the Crayons Came Home—and this time they’re exploring the three-dimensional world as they make friends with real-life objects from around Duncan’s house.
Duncan’s crayons just can’t seem to stay put!
After convincing one group of crayons to go back to work after they wanted to quit and rescuing another group who got lost in the most inconvenient places, Duncan’s crayons have disappeared once more.
But this time, they’ve gone out into his room to make friends. From Red Crayon, who fulfills his dream of driving a firetruck; to Blue Crayon, who meets a fashion doll desperately in need of a head; to fan favorite Esteban, who is off to tame a teddy bear (or as he would call it, a wild beast), each crayon has an exciting story to share about the new objects they’ve met and the new adventures they’ve had.
The bestselling team behind The Day the Crayons Quit have come together to create another clever and hilarious tale that will keep children—and grown-ups—laughing.

      After Duncan finds his crayons gone--yet again--letters arrive, detailing their adventures in friendship. Eleven crayons send missives from their chosen spots throughout Duncan's home (and one from his classroom). Red enjoys the thrill of extinguishing "pretend fires" with Duncan's toy firetruck. White, so often dismissed as invisible, finds a new calling subbing in for the missing queen on the black-and-white chessboard. "Now everyone ALWAYS SEES ME!...(Well, half the time!)" Pink's living the dream as a pastry chef helming the Breezy Bake Oven, "baking everything from little cupcakes...to...OTHER little cupcakes!" Teal, who's hitched a ride to school in Duncan's backpack, meets the crayons in the boy's desk and writes, "Guess what? I HAVE A TWIN! How come you never told me?" Duncan wants to see his crayons and "meet their new friends." A culminating dinner party assembles the crayons and their many guests: a table tennis ball, dog biscuits, a well-loved teddy bear, and more. The premise--personified crayons, away and back again--is well-trammeled territory by now, after over a dozen books and spinoffs, and Jeffers once more delivers his signature cartooning and hand-lettering. Though the pages lack the laugh-out-loud sight gags and side-splittingly funny asides of previous outings, readers--especially fans of the crayons' previous outings--will enjoy checking in on their pals. Quirky, familiar fun for series devotees.(Picture book. 4-7)
