The Day the Crayons Came Home by Drew Daywalt illustrated by Oliver Jeffers*

The much anticipated sequel to The Day the Crayons Quit!
Duncan's crayons send him post cards sharing where they are located around the house and even the world.  All post cards included are retro and older.
Mr. Daywalt uses different color crayons (neon red, maroon, pea green, glow in the dark, a toddler crayon!,  plus more) and also includes our friends yellow and orange crayon from the first book.
Lots of clever humor which will delight readers of all ages!
A book we are purchasing!
*Highly recommend.
Strategies: fluency (have various students be a different crayon and turn story into a Reader's Theater), connections 
Mentor text for creative writing: Have students select a crayon and describe where its owner left, following Mr. Daywalt's example.  Also a mentor text for point of view.
