When Duncan gets to class, he is all set to color. Unfortunately, when he goes to get his crayons, he finds a stack of letters instead, and all of them are address to him. From his crayons.
Red is exhausted and frustrated that he works on holidays; Beige doesn't like that Brown gets more action and all he is used for is coloring wheat ("who gets excited to color wheat?"); Pink is happy that Duncan's sister used Pink for her princess coloring book, but couldn't he color in a pink dinosaur sometime? Green is perfectly happy with Duncan's coloring career to date and congratulates him on his use of Green when coloring lizards, but he would really like it if Duncan could mediate the argument between Yellow and Orange who are no longer on speaking terms. And Peach... well, Peach is just wondering why he's been left naked in the box.
This book was absolutely adorable, and is great to read out loud to anyone (I read it to my 25 year old friend, because we're adults. That's what adults do. Right? Right.) This is a picture book, so it is aimed at kids, but everyone should read it. Because it's so darn cute.
That just sounds adorable!
