Crayons have feelings, too, in this funny back-to-school story illustrated by the creator of Stuck and This Moose Belongs to Me -- now a #1 New York Times bestseller!
Poor Duncan just wants to color. But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only letters, all saying the same thing: His crayons have had enough! They quit! Beige Crayon is tired of playing second fiddle to Brown Crayon. Black wants to be used for more than just outlining. Blue needs a break from coloring all those bodies of water. And Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking each believes he is the true color of the sun.
What can Duncan possibly do to appease all of the crayons and get them back to doing what they do best?

Wie fühlt sich ein blauer Farbstift, der immer nur Wasser malen soll? Und warum reden Orange und Gelb nicht miteinander? Ist Grün wirklich die einzige Farbe, die mit ihrem Schicksal zufrieden ist? Eines Tages findet Duncan anstelle seiner Farbstifte kleine Nachrichten. Jeder Farbstift hat ihm einen ganz persönlichen Brief mit Wünschen und Beschwerden geschrieben. Duncan erfährt, warum sich nicht alle Buntstifte gleich behandelt fühlen. Nun, falls jemand daran gezweifelt hat, dass Buntstifte eine Seele haben, hier kommt der Beweis. Und ob sie die haben! Oliver Jeffers in künstlerischer Hochform!
