The Day the Crayons Quit
by Drew Daywalt
Duncan opens his crayon box to find a stack of letters instead. Every colour has a complaint, and beige is furious about being second to brown.
A story about children, funny and wry in tone. We would put it with children of 4–7, and at a reading age of about 6 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
