The hilarious crayons from the #1 New York Times bestselling The Day the Crayons Quit are ready to celebrate St. Patrick's Day!

St. Patrick's Day is almost here, and Green Crayon would like a break! (After all, he JUST had to carry a heavy load during Christmas...) His friends try to take over, but what's a leprechaun without green clothing? And a four-leaf clover can't be blue! And how in the world can the crayons make a rainbow without their good friend Green? A humorous, small hardcover St. Patrick's Day story from everyone's favorite school supplies. The perfect gift!

Kirkus Reviews

A predictable series entry, mitigated as usual by the protagonists’ perennially energetic positivity.

School Library Journal

PreS-K--When Green Crayon goes on vacation, the other colors step up to cover St. Patrick's Day. "It'll be an extraordinary collaboration!" Pink declares. Blue and Yellow work together on the shamrocks, while everyone else pitches in to draw a leprechaun, harp, rainbow, and pot of gold. Jeffers's crayon illustrations depict the personified crayon cast from the other books in the series. Humorous highlights include Chunky Toddler Crayon creating a leprechaun hat (a scribble), Black Crayon making an all-black rainbow, and White Crayon drawing underwear. VERDICT Order to satisfy fans of Daywalt's other "Crayons" books.--Rachel Owens
