The Day the Crayons Quit: By Drew Daywalt

 This book is written in letter form, as a series of letters to a boy named Duncan from each crayon in his crayon box.  Each crayon has something different to say, mostly complaining about being used too little or too much.  In the end, Duncan creates a new picture using every color.  

I think I would use this book as a read-aloud in my lower elementary grade classroom.  I think this would be a fun way to incorporate art into the classroom.
