In 2013, Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers' picture book, _The Day the Crayons Quit,_ became a #1 bestselling smash-hit. It featured a boy named Duncan and his funny, disgruntled cast of crayons who decided enough was enough--it was time to walk off the job. Luckily, Duncan managed to convince them to come back to work and a second book was born, _The Day the Crayons Came Home_, in which a new cast of crayons found themselves displaced--and not all in one piece--in need of finding a way home. Now these two books are available together for the first time in a joint slipcased edition.

What's better than receiving a copy of _The Day the Crayons Quit_ or _The Day the Crayons Came Home_? Receiving them both! A must-have gift purchase for the holiday season, _The Day the Crayons Quit_ Slipcase is a timely and handy offering for fans who've already fallen in love with these funny books and those who will take delight in discovering these colorful tales.
