The fact that the “Creepy Crayon” is purple was the first draw, as that’s probably my favorite color. And the fact the illustrations are large and uncomplicated, making it a very suitable book for storytime presentation was the second appeal. Having read the story, which combines humor, suspense, frustration, freak-outs and resolution, that really sealed the deal as to recommending it. Let’s just say that if you ever “find” a perfectly purple, perfectly pointy, perfectly perfect crayon — beware!!
