The Day the Crayons Quit
Reading Comprehension Questions
by Drew Daywalt
8 curated questions
Duncan wants to color, but instead of crayons, he finds a stack of letters. Each letter is from a different crayon, complaining about how Duncan uses them (or doesn't use them). Red is overworked, Purple is messy, Yellow and Orange argue, Blue is worn down, Pink isn't used enough, Peach feels naked, Black is only for outlines, White feels invisible, and Beige feels boring. Duncan, inspired by their letters, draws a creative picture using all the crayons in new and interesting ways, making them all happy.
