This CUTE Book Goes with the Lesson!
The Crayon Box That Talked
By Shane DeRolf
While walking in the toy store
The day before today
I overheard a crayon box
With many things to say
“I don’t like the Red,” said the Orange
and Green said, “Nor do I”
and no one here likes Yellow
But no one knows just why
“We are a box of crayons
that doesn’t get along”
Said Blue to all the others
“Something here is wrong.”
Well, I bought that box of crayons
And I took it home with me
And laid out all the colors
So the crayons could all see
They watched me as I colored
With Red and Blue and Green
And Black and White and Orange
And every color in between
They watched as Green became the grass
And Blue became the sky
The Yellow sun was shining bright
On White clouds drifting by
Colors changing as they touched
Becoming something new
They watched me as I colored
They watched until I was through
And when I’d finally finished
I began to walk away
And as I did the crayon box
Had something new to say
“I do like Red,” said Orange
and Green said, “So do I”
and Blue you were terrific
so high up in the sky
“We are a box a crayons
each one of us unique
But when we get together
