<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Includes an original art print by Oliver Jeffers! The two most popular, colorful picture books in a generation are now available together in a joint slipcased edition--the perfect gift for the holiday season! <br></b><br> In 2013, Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers' picture book, <i>The Day the Crayons Quit, </i>became a #1 bestselling smash-hit. It featured a boy named Duncan and his funny, disgruntled cast of crayons who decided enough was enough--it was time to walk off the job. Luckily, Duncan managed to convince them to come back to work and a second book was born, <i>The Day the Crayons Came Home</i>, in which a new cast of crayons found themselves displaced--and not all in one piece--in need of finding a way home. Now these two books are available together for the first time in a joint slipcased edition. <p/> What's better than receiving a copy of <i>The Day the Crayons Quit</i> or <i>The Day the Crayons Came Home</i>? Receiving them both! A must-have gift purchase for the holiday season, <i>The Day the Crayons Quit </i>Slipcase is a timely and handy offering for fans who've already fallen in love with these funny books and those who will take delight in discovering these colorful tales. <p/> <b>Praise for <i>The Day the Crayons Came Home</i></b> <p/> One of <i>Parents Magazine</i>'s Ten Best Children's Books of 2015! <p/> A <i>Publishers Weekly</i> Best Book of the Year! <p/> "Highly anticipated (yes, even for adults)" --<i>Entertainment Weekly<br> </i><br> Mr. Daywalt's text blends with Mr. Jeffers's illustrations to make a picture book that will have children clamoring for more crayon adventures.--<i>The Wall Street Journal</i> <p/> * A masterwork of humor and design . . .
