Praise for The Crayons Go Back to School:

"A congenial matriculant in publishing’s autumnal rite of back-to-school offerings" – Kirkus Reviews

In this illustration- and dialogue-driven story, Daywalt’s simple, one-sentence pages are expanded upon with playful crayon written dialogue and Jeffers’s beloved signature gouache, ink, colored pencil, and crayon illustrations. Libraries will not want to quit expanding their collections of Daywalt titles with this bite-sized back-to-school send-off" – School Library Journal
