The Crayon Box: The Day the Crayons Quit Slipcased edition

About the Book

Two of the most popular, colorful picture books in a generation—the #1 New York Times bestsellers The Day the Crayons Quit and The Day the Crayons Came Home—are available together in a joint slipcase edition. Includes an original art print by Oliver Jeffers!

What's better than receiving a copy of The Day the Crayons Quit or The Day the Crayons Came Home? Receiving them both! A must-have for collectors and fans of the Crayons cast, this slipcase is a timely and handy offering for new and returning readers alike!

In The Day the Crayons Quit, Duncan’s funny, disgruntled crayons decide enough is enough—it’s time to walk off the job. Luckily, Duncan manages to convince them to come back to work, and a second book is born: The Day the Crayons Came Home, in which a new cast of crayons finds themselves displaced—and not all in one piece—as they try to find a way home.

Available together for the first time, this boxed set makes the perfect gift for Crayons fans of all ages!
