Stories<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"\u00a0Frankencrayon by Michael Hall<\/a>:\u00a0If the crayons cannot stop the scribble monster, this picture book and the play “Frankencrayon<\/span>” may have to be canceled.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Monsters Love Colors by Mike Austin<\/a>: \u00a0Playful monsters<\/span> combine their favorite crayons, red, yellow, and blue, to create new colors, including one never before seen.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Red: A Crayon’s Story by Michael Hall<\/a>:\u00a0Red’s<\/span> factory-applied label clearly says that he is red<\/span>, but despite the best efforts of his teacher, fellow crayons and art supplies, and family members, he cannot seem to do anything right until a new friend offers a fresh perspective.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Flannelboard<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“I Have 10 Crayons”, a counting flannel board that includes adding and subtracting.<\/p>\n

“The Crayon Box That Talked” based on the picture book by the same title by Shane DeRolf; You’ll never look at a box of crayons the same after reading this story. It’s a profound story filled with philosophical life lessons and expressive illustrations. DeRolf cleverly uses this everyday tool of children’s play as a metaphor for the classroom community, or even society at large! A box (classroom\/society) full of crayons (people) each a different color (different races, religions, cultures, traditions and a multitude of characteristics) don’t like each other for no actual reason. A little girl changes that by drawing a picture using each crayon and creates something beautiful! This sends a clear and powerful message about how valuing diversity and working together is what makes life joyful and complete. DeRolf’s simple rhyming words coupled with Letzig’s emotive child-friendly illustrations, are a perfect pairing for children of all ages.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Film<\/span><\/h2>\n

“Harold’s Fairy Tale” from the DVD Harold and the Purple Crayon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With his purple crayon Harold<\/span> draws his way into an enchanted garden troubled by a giant witch.<\/p>\n
