What can Duncan possibly do to appease all of the crayons and get them back to doing what they do best? And Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking-each believes he is the true color of the sun. Blue needs a break from coloring all those bodies of water. Black wants to be used for more than just outlining. But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only letters, all saying the same thing: His crayons have had enough! They quit! Beige Crayon is tired of playing second fiddle to Brown Crayon.
