Students try to solve Duncan’s dilemma in The Day the Crayons Came Home by Drew Daywalt. Readers traveled to the Dysart School District to perform this delightful sequel to The Day the Crayons Quit also by Daywalt. A young boy named Duncan had several angry crayons that had decided to quit in the fall since they had been “lost, forgotten, broken or neglected.” In the spring Duncan received postcards from these crayons that were unhappy but wanted to come home. Narrator, Julie Leyda, skillfully led the students in conversation to understand why each of the eleven crayons were angry and how Duncan could solve his dilemma, making each of those crayons feel right at home.
