Day the Crayons Made Friends, The

Drew Daywalt, illustrated by Oliver Jeffers

Duncan’s crayons disappear from their usual place and venture into his room. There they encounter three-dimensional, everyday objects and begin making new friends. Individual crayons have their own experiences: Red Crayon drives a firetruck, Blue Crayon meets a fashion doll missing her head, and Esteban approaches a teddy bear as if it were a wild creature to tame. The picture-book adventure follows the crayons beyond the drawing surface as they explore objects around Duncan’s home.

Cover of Dinosaur DaysDinosaur DaysCourtney Pippin-Mathur, illustrated by Pauline GregoryIzzy Rae puts on a dinosaur costume and treats the whole day as an opportunity to be ferocious. Her imagination changes ordinary actions: she chomps instead of simply eating, stomps rather than walking downstairs or along the sidewalk, and roars while looking at signs. She enjoys acting like a dinosaur from morning onward, using costume play and energetic movement to transform her routine. By the end, she discovers that one dinosaur’s chomping, stomping, and roaring can become even more exciting with another dinosaur joining in.Teacher Favorites — K–2nd GradeOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
