[Music] the day the crayons quit by drew daywall pictures by oliver [Music] jeffers one day in class duncan went to take out his crayons and found a stack of letters with his name on them hey duncan it's me red crayon we need to talk you make me work harder than any of your other crayons all year long i wear myself out coloring fire engines apples strawberries and everything else that's red i even work on holidays i had to color all the santas at christmas and all the hearts on valentine's day i need a rest your

overworked friend red crayon dear duncan alright listen i love that i'm your favorite crayon for grapes dragons and wizards hats but it makes me crazy that so much of my gorgeous color goes outside the lines if you don't start coloring inside the line soon i'm going to completely lose it your very neat friend purple crayon dear duncan i'm tired of being called light brown or dark tan because i am neither i am beige and i am proud i am also tired of being second place to mr brown crayon it's not fair that brown gets all

the bears ponies and puppies while the only things i get are turkey dinners if i'm lucky and wheat and let's be honest when was the last time you saw a kid excited about coloring wheat yay your beige friend beige crayon duncan gray crayon here you are killing me i know you love elephants and i know that elephants are grey but that's a lot of space to color and all by myself and don't even get me started on your rhinos hippos and humpback whales [Music] you know how tired i am after handling one of those things

such big animals baby penguins are gray you know they're very tiny rocks pebbles how about one of those once in a while to give me a break you're very tired friend great crayon dear duncan you color with me but why most of the time i'm the same color as the page you are using me on white if i didn't have a black outline you wouldn't even know i was there huh i'm not even in the rainbow i'm only used to color snow or to fill in empty space between other things and it leaves me feeling

well empty [Applause] need to talk your empty friend white crayon hi duncan i hate being used to draw the outline of things things that are colored in by other colors all of which think they're brighter than me it's not fair when you use me to draw a nice beach ball and then fill in the colors of the ball with all the other crayons how about a black beach ball sometime is that too much to ask your friend black crayon dear duncan that's green crayon i am writing for two reasons one is to say that i

like my workloads of crocodiles trees dinosaurs and frogs i have no problems and wish to congratulate you on a very successful coloring things green career so far the second reason i write is for my friends yellow crayon and orange crayon who are no longer speaking to each other both crayons feel they should be the color of the sun please settle this soon because they're driving the rest of us crazy your happy friend green crayon dear duncan yellow crayon here i need you to tell orange clan that i am the color of the sun i will

tell him but we are no longer speaking and i can prove i'm the color of the sun too last tuesday you use me to color in the sun on your happy farm coloring book in case you've forgotten it's on page seven you can't miss me i'm shining down brilliantly on a field of yellow corn your pal and the true color of the sun yellow crayon [Music] dear duncan i see yellow crayon already talk to you the big whiner anyway could you please tell mr tattletail that he is not the color of the sun i would

but we're no longer speaking we both know i am clearly the color of the sun because on thursday you use me to color the sun on both the monkey island and the meet the zookeeper pages in your day at the zoo coloring book aren't you glad i'm here your pal and the real color of the sun orange crayon dear duncan it has been great being your favorite color this past year and the year before and the year before that i have really enjoyed all those oceans lakes rivers raindrops rain clouds and clear skies but the

bad news is that i am so short and stubby i can't even see over the railing in the clam box anymore i need a break your very stubby friend blue clan duncan okay listen here kid you have not used me once in the past year it's because you think i'm a girl's color isn't it speaking of which please tell your little sister i said thank you for using me to color in her little princess coloring book i think she did a fabulous job of staying inside the lines now back to us could you please use

me sometime to color the occasional pink dinosaur or monster or cowboy goodness knows they could use a splash of color your unused friend pink crayon [Music] hey duncan it's me peach crayon why didn't you peel off my paper wrapping now i'm naked and too embarrassed to leave the crayon box i don't even have any underwear how would you like to go to school naked i need some clothes help your naked friend peach clan well poor duncan just wanted to color and of course he wanted his crayons to be happy and that gave him an idea
