The hilarious Crayons from the #1 New York Times bestselling The Day the Crayons Quit are ready to learn their manners in this mini hardcover book!

Featuring Drew Daywalt's giggle-inducing characters and bold, bright illustrations from Oliver Jeffers, The Crayons' Book of Manners is the most fun you can have while learning to be courteous to others.

About the Author
Drew Daywalt was amazed at the age of seven, while sitting in the movie theater watching the credits roll on the original Star Wars, to see for the first time that people actually made movies. They weren't just found items like mountains or rivers or clouds. That night, at story time with his mom, Charlene, he noticed there were names of people on the front of books, too. That's when he learned about authors and writers. And he never looked back. Drew is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Day the Crayons Quit, all of its sequels, and many other titles, including The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors, Little Freddie Two Pant, and the middle grade novel They Call Me No Sam!, illustrated by Mike Lowery. Drew lives in California with his wife, two kids, two dogs, two goldfish, a cat, and some local raccoons who like pizza crusts.
