Review
This is a story about a blue crayon living in a red crayon's wrapper. He has a struggle to fit in with all the other crayons. "He was red, but he wasn't very good at it"... His teacher, mother, grandparents, and friends all had some advise to give him. Then he found his place in the world when he gave up being red and started to draw blue things.
The illustrations are crayon drawings.
The book is great for older students to learn symbolism.
Overall Book Score: very good
