How could it be that this, the sequel to ‘The Day The
Crayons Quit’ (which was marvellous) could be funnier, brighter, and even more marvellous than it’s predecessor,
well it is, it truly is. This award winning dynamic duo have created a highly
entertaining and beautifully stylish picture book, which will be loved by
readers of all ages.
Duncan receives postcards from far and wide, written by crayons,
which have been lost, abandoned, snapped and melted. Inanimate objects now
brimming with personality take on a life of their own, as we discover a
collection of previously mislaid, somewhat disgruntled Crayons are now looking
for answers.
In his spectacular cape ‘Esteban The Magnificent’ is a
particular favourite of mine, tired of the monotony of colouring in peas
Esteban embarks on an epic adventure to see the world… if only he could open
the front door that is.
Each beautifully curated page features a hand written
postcard and a cleverly composed illustration.
A magical mixture of collage, photography and crayon
illustrations this book is an unrivalled visual feast and the end papers as
always are a delicious work of art.
The perfect addition to any bookshelf.
