I embarrassed myself at the circulation desk reading it because I kept barking out laughter. The illustrations are fantastic (same guy who illustrated "This Moose Belongs to Me", another one of my faves) and the text is spot on. The lemon juice invisible ink technique is best for older children and must be supervised as using heat (from a candle or another source) could be dangerous for younger children. Use your best judgment. Invisible Ink – Vinegar

We knew her developmental skills were rapidly changing, but how do you even go about keeping a toddler entertained?!I also quite liked the message from the little boy Duncan's perspective. He was asked to change his habits to make his beloved crayons happier, and he took their needs into consideration and changed for them - and the experience was rewarding for all. The book is short, as most children's books are, so the reading was only 7 minutes long, but I almost wish that it was longer, that the pictures were shown more, and that I could really appreciate the art that these crayons produced. They give of themselves, and only ask to be appreciated and fairly used in return... but when they feel mistreated, they decide to demand better treatment. Until then, they tender their resignation. I haven’t been reading many picture books lately, but with large groups of college students above and below me (don’t get me started) while I can’t focus on my current novel, I was able to concentrate on a picture book, and thanks to Goodreads friend Kathryn for encouraging me to read this particular book, and due to it being due at the library Monday, I just read it, and I’m glad I did.

First, my son and I really enjoyed the story and the illustrations; he had to examine the expressions of each crayon and discuss their moods and well as the pictures that were drawn using the crayons.When you think about spending time with your toddler, we want you to have that bubbly, excited feeling in your belly, not a feeling of dread. Add a tablespoon or two of milk to a small bowl or glass. Then, use a Q-tip to write a secret message on a blank, white paper. Allow to fully dry.
