Story Time: The Day the Crayons Quit (18/04/2015)

Poor Duncan just wants to do some colouring. But when he opens his box of crayons, all he finds are letters from the crayons telling him that they QUIT!

They are complaining. Red is overworked and needs a rest. Purple wants Duncan to be neat. Beige is not happy with being second place to Mr. Brown Crayon.... Every crayon wants Duncan's ears.

What is Duncan to do? Can he find a solution to each of the problems raised?

Michael Sharmon will tell you all about the crayons' complaints and if Duncan can make them happy!
