A BESTSELLING FRANCHISE: The Crayons franchise has sold more than 2 million copies in the US alone. There are tons of fans who love these characters!

CHRISTMAS! Christmas is always a big seller, and this book is as Christmas-y as they get.

STOCKING-SIZE! This book is smaller than a standard picture book and can fit perfectly in a stocking. At a lower price point, it’s the perfect stocking stuffer.

HILARIOUS! Just like the original picture books, this book is laugh-out-loud funny. Humorous picture books are always kid favorites, and this one will be no exception.
