About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with responsibility for their belongings or when toys are being left in precarious places like the dog's mouth or the couch cushions. It is a brilliant tool for teaching empathy through objects, helping children realize that their actions (or inactions) have an impact on the 'lives' of the things they own. Following the success of its predecessor, this story features a series of postcards from forgotten crayons who have suffered various mishaps, from being melted in the dryer to being chewed by the family pet. While it is deeply funny and absurdist, it touches on serious themes of belonging and forgiveness. It is perfect for preschoolers through early elementary students who enjoy a touch of snarky humor and are ready to consider the importance of taking care of their environment.
