The Day the Crayons Quit

Wie fühlt sich ein blauer Farbstift, der immer nur Wasser malen soll? Und warum reden Orange und Gelb nicht miteinander? Ist Grün wirklich die einzige Farbe, die mit ihrem Schicksal zufrieden ist? Eines Tages findet Duncan anstelle seiner Farbstifte kleine Nachrichten. Jeder Farbstift hat ihm einen ganz persönlichen Brief mit Wünschen und Beschwerden geschrieben. Duncan erfährt, warum sich nicht alle Buntstifte gleich behandelt fühlen. Nun, falls jemand daran gezweifelt hat, dass Buntstifte eine Seele haben, hier kommt der Beweis. Und ob sie die haben! Oliver Jeffers in künstlerischer Hochform!
