I actually liked this one even better that the first book,
The Day the Crayons Quit! This one was even funnier because of all the strange
situations these lost crayons found themselves in. Esteban the Magnificent
(formally known as Pea Green) was really funny.
I liked that he got several postcards from the same crayon
in this book. You really followed their story - like Neon Red crayon who was
very very confused with her geography. And Esteban who runs away, but can't get
out the door.
My husband and I found ourselves laughing out loud several
times throughout this book. Most of it went over our 1.5 year old daughter's
head, but she really liked the pictures. I thought the format with the
postcards was really cute too. And of course Duncan has another brilliant idea
to help his lost crayons.
The story still has pictures accompanying each postcard. The
pictures are either drawn like Duncan drew them, or they have photographs of
them in their current location. This again is a great way to help kids learn their
colors and this one actually has some geography too!
FYI: We couldn't get the glow in the dark page to work. The
actual crayon itself lit up a little bit, but the drawings didn't glow at all.
It's in the middle of the book, so you don't really have enough time to get
enough light on the page. My daughter wasn't going to sit there for 5 minutes
while we just waited... cool idea though.
These are two books I definitely need to have on my
bookshelf!
