The Crayon Box That Talked by Derolf, Shane

Yellow hates Red, so does Green, and no one likes Orange Can these crayons quit arguing and learn to cooperate? Shane DeRolf's deceptively simple poem celebrates the creation of harmony through diversity. In combination with Michael Letzig's vibrant illustrations, young readers will understand that when we all work together, the results are much more colorful and interesting.
