How the Crayons Saved the School

Description

Age range 3 to 6 Can a special group of crayons save a school? Oh no, the school has lost all its colour! In a quiet town, a wave of gray has swept over a little school. Happy kids are now bored, bored, bored. Charming halls and play grounds are now dull, dull, dull. Buzzing teachers are now tired, tired, tired. Something has to be done! On another long, gray afternoon, a student gets a surprise gift that can help save the day: a box of seven special crayons! With the charm, determination, and cleverness of these peppy crayons and their unique personalities, the students and teachers work together to make their school magnificent. The crayons use their funny antics and extraordinary determination to show them how colorful and exciting the world can be when everyone works together. How the Crayons Saved the School is a colorful book about working together from the rambunctious crayons who brought you How the Crayons Saved the Rainbow, How the Crayons Saved the Unicorn, and How the Crayons Saved Christmas. How the Crayons Saved the School teaches the importance of hope and teamwork when things feel hard, and that together you can accomplish anything.
