    Of Course, this is the way the story of Crayola should be told
  

*by P***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2022*

I sincerely hope that the Crayola Crayon remains a near universal childhood experience. I well remember that we all started with the flat pack of 8<?> colors. Then slowly the larger packs began separating the cool and kids . Clearly the first step in making us all class conscious was the advent of the larger pack . Just having many crayons in the box was cool but so last year once the giant box came out with an included crayon sharpener. Lots of crayons in a box eventually became over kill, besides it was always the same basics that got turned into stubs. A sixty-four crayon box was cool, but everyone needed another: blue or red or white(clouds what else?), and the sun alone could eat up tons of yellow.Natascha Biebow with illustrator Steven Salerno have produced in The Crayon Man what has to be the only way to tell the story of Edwin Binney and cousin C. Harold Smith and the invention of the Crayola Crayon. Of course, it is lavishly illustrated in the Crayola colors and of course sometimes the colors go outside the lines.I well remember being kept after school because I tended to scribble when I was filling in large areas in a drawing. Never quite figure out why that mattered and am not sure I ever got it right. No sense asking mom about it , she agreed with my first grade teach. Mrs. Adams if you are out there, I still managed to get graduate degrees and a decent career. Just not as an artist.The book is short, as becomes a children’s book but get this: It is also researched, bibliography and all! It is one an adult may have to read with their children. There is some vocabulary and some ideas that may require some explaining. This is a good thing. The experience of crayons is something the adults and the child share. Having a book that can appeal to both and maybe promote the sharing crayon stories are part of the charm of The Crayon man.

    Cool and Colorful
  

*by N***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2022*

Bought to investigate if it would make a good gift. The story is short enough to keep the child’s attention and detailed enough for an adult to enjoy. I liked how the color words were bolded to emphasize the colors and this would be a great book to teach colors. The pictures are also really well done, colorful, and pleasant. I think this will make a great gift.

    Great for kids 4yo and up!
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2023*

This just arrived today as part of a gift for my son's 1st Grade teacher, and I love it so much I placed a second order for our house!I might summarize a sentence here or there for my 4yo if I see his attention drifting, but I think it's still good for pre-K. It'll be great for lower grades, and I could see reading this to even a middle school class as an example of how a researched nonfiction book can still be entertaining.
