The hilarious Crayons from the #1 New York Times bestselling The Day the Crayons Quit are back for another adventure – and this time they explore Duncan's playroom. Will they want to leave the crayon box for good after they make new friends?

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 into his room to make friends. From Red Crayon, who fulfils his dream of driving a fire engine, to Blue Crayon, who meets a fashion doll desperately in need of a head, to fan favourite 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 #1 New York Times bestselling team behind the international Crayons sensation have come together to create another clever and hilarious tale that will keep children – and grown-ups – laughing.
