When Duncan arrives at school one morning, he finds a stack of letters, one from each of his crayons, complaining about how he uses them.

reviewed The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt

An obviously colourful story.

Reasonably interesting story that's meant to teach both colours and encourage doing things creatively, which I quite like.

I had two reading issues, though: The Crayon letters can be hard to read for dyslexic people, and that yellow-on-white was atrocious. They needed more contrast between the colours in order to make it easier to read.
