This book is adorable! The original The Day the Crayons Quit book was a huge hit in our house and so was the sequel The Day the Crayons Came Home. Our kids love those books and they were so fun that my husband and I still enjoyed reading them again and again. I was excited at the prospect of a new Crayons book but also worried about whether or not it would be any good since I was pre-ordering it sight unseen. It arrived yesterday along with a chapter book I had pre-ordered for my son that is a sequel he has been eagerly waiting for. When he saw the books he immediately wanted to read this one first and was very excited about a new Crayons story. I insisted he wait until closer to Christmas but I couldn’t help opening it up to check it out. It was immediately so funny that I had to read him a few pages that had me chuckling and him asking what was so funny. It was really hard not to read every page!The book begins with Peach Crayon receiving a letter. As you may recall poor Peach Crayon was left naked and quite embarrassed about the fact that he had no wrapper. His parents have sent him a card with clothing which includes a cut out of Peach Crayon and different outfits which will be seen throughout the book. I told my son Orange and Yellow Crayons were still arguing about colors and he immediately asked if they were melted together as they were last and was pleased that they were. We love that the characters continue their stories and the running jokes from earlier books. There are lots of new fun things like Beige Crayon’s Dad’s World Famous Top Secret Gluten-Free Cookies and Hot Chocolate, which is included on a recipe card complete with helpful instructions that say to go to the store and buy cookies and cocoa mix. My son thought that was hilarious. There is also a Crayon who is Jewish. One of the cards includes a game to play which keeps up the jokes. There is even a pop up Christmas tree. We are very excited that the Crayons are back and at their best and will be joining us for Christmas. There are lots of fun envelopes to open and this book is sure to be a hit with fans of the previous books. If you have stumbled on this book without having read the first two you should start with the first one as the story of the Crayons continues in each book and becomes fun running jokes or do the kids in your life a favor and buy all three.

I didn't know what to expect when I pre-ordered this, but we love the first two crayon books so I was willing to give it a go. I'm impressed! This book is sweet, fun, and full of exciting "gifts." It's also a nice way to see our favorite crayons again (like Yellow & Orange, Peach, Beige, Esteban the Magnificent) -- it's like a holiday visit with old friends.This is one of those books where every-other page is an envelope and you get to pull various items from each envelope as the story progresses. These include: <<SPOILERS>>-a crayon paper doll and outfits (Adorable - want to see a crayon in a snow suit? Buy this book.)-8 paper ornaments (including a new crayon friend, Silver, and a new candy cane character)-a "recipe" card (hilarious)-a Hanukkah card and paper dreidel (I don't know how well it will work when we fold and tape it together, but I love the idea)-a game board (think Candy Land, but with crayons) - you'll need your own 6-sided die and movers.-a mapAll in all, this is a cute, fun book that I know my children will love. We're always excited to add to our Christmas picture book collection, and this is a wonderful addition. It's a little shorter and a little lighter on plot than the first two crayon books, but the activities and the humor more than make up for it.

My daughter has read every single story about Duncan and his crayons friends, and she loves all of them. Adorable and humorous! And this crayons Christmas book is a love plus A+++ since the arrangement of the content actually allows readers to be part of it. There are crafts, games, cards and all other fun stuff related to Christmas. Very lovely! It's more like a combination of cute little picture book and activity book. And it's also very much giftable. Would highly recommend it.

My daughter adores this book! It’s interactive and fun! There are objects she can pop out and play and envelopes to open and close and hide things in. I’m really glad I bought this!
