K-Gr 2–Holiday humor and fun abound in this new Christmas-themed collaboration. The crayons are out to celebrate the season, but Green thinks that he is the only Christmas color. When Red jumps in, noting Christmas things that are red, other crayons add to the mix. In the end, the crayons come to the conclusion that Green is not the only Christmas color, but a great part of the multiple colors that can be used to color iconic symbols and objects. Fans of the “Crayons” series will enjoy this holiday-themed addition. Lovers of the previous books will enjoy the Crayons’s humor. The bright colors and clever illustrations with quirky details.
VERDICT A must-have holiday picture book that’s a perfect pairing for those who have enjoyed the creators’ previous outings. Vibrant, colorful, and full of holiday cheer.
