Review
Every Child or adult will be able to relate to at least one of the colored pencils in this story so artfully created by Julia Cook. Her book is picture perfect in showing all of us what it takes to build relationships and make friends. --Kristine J. Melloy, Ph.D., President Elect of the Council for Children with Behavioral Disorders

Lexile measures range from below 200L for early readers and text to above 1600L for advanced readers and materials. When used together Lexile measure help a reader find books at an appropriate level of challenge, and determine how well that reader will likely comprehend a text.

My daughter is 4, is a bit shy, and has a hard time reaching out to other kids because she's worried she's going to be rejected. Based on all the great reviews, I had high hopes that this book would give us some suggestions on how to initiate play and make new friends. The first thing I noticed is this book is pretty long for a kids book (about 30 pages) and too wordy to hold my daughter's interest (perhaps it's intended for slightly older children). The main reason I disliked this book, though, is the brown pencil doesn't have any friends is because according to himself, he says, "I complain a lot...at times I'm disrespectful and I usually wear a frown...I hardly ever laugh but the others laugh at me." One of the other pencils tells Brown, "...you never laugh and you always put us down. You think our opinions are silly...you like to disagree with everything we say...you always complain...you don't even try to understand where we are coming from..." Yet another pencil tells Brown, "...you can't expect the other colors to like you if you don't like yourself." It does have some good points where Brown follows some of the suggestions from the other colors, like smiling at others, giving Blue a hug when she was feeling bad, and listening to what Purple had to say rather than rolling his eyes and ignoring him.Overall, I feel this book is way too negative and is not really worded well for a book geared toward children. I will be returning this one. I found the Cheri J. Meiners book, Join in and Play, much more useful.
the subtext is somewhat implicitly racist. I'm irate - I am a therapist and bought this for reading to youth in bibliotherapy. I was shocked to preview it and discover that the "brown crayon" hates himself for being brown. If you're a brown youth (person of color), that kind of messaging is really strikingly obvious. We don't need more subtextual racism in this fragile era - positively reinforcing hatred (and self-hatred) of brown-ness is one potential consequence of this book. Literally any of the other colors could have been chosen to animate - but the author chose brown. Grey, for example, could be inserted verbatim and at least would be racially neutral. I can't believe this got past an editor at Boy's Town Press.
I usually don't purchase new books without seeing reviews but I immediately bought this one and I wasn't disappointed. Julia Cook's books have been useful. As an elementary school counselor I'm always searching for books on friendship. There don't seem to be many out there on how to make friends and what to do if you have friendship problems. Although I also recommend "How to be a friend" by Marc Brown and "My friends and me" by Pat Thomas. I look for books that will appeal to 6-8 year olds. I've already used this book with groups and it's worked out well.So for the plot: The Brown colored pencil feels alone and left out. A few of the other colored pencils tell him he needs to be a good friend to make friends. Each of the colors has a specific positive quality. Brown is a combination of all the other colors so he has those qualities within him. He takes their advice and begins to recognize his own strengths. He changes his ways and does things to try and help out the other pencils. He feels better about himself and now has friends.The story did repeat some things to try and make the story hit home but I'm not sure it was necessary. A couple of pages almost felt out of place and were a little too long. For instance, towards the end Brown listens to a presentation on how to take over the art supply market. He was doing this to support his friend but I don't think the audience this is geared to would understand the situation, nor did it add to the story.Overall, the book has a good message that resonates with children. It is easy to use in discussion regarding friendship and self esteem and I would buy it again.
I bought this for my son, who needed a reminder of how to behave in a way that would make more friends. Not only does it teach a good lesson, but it's a fun read! It's a much better story than some of the other books we've read that are aimed at being friends. The characters are a little more believable than some of the other friend books and the main character echoes some real complaints that my own son has made in the past. I would definitely recommend this book to another parent whose child needed a gentle reminder.
Nope this overly wordy story misses the mark. The presumption is something is wrong with you and that’s why no one likes you. The villain of the story is a lonely, grouchy, jealous crayon who is rude to all the kind more popular crayons. Once he changes and talks to them they find common ground. The moral is change yourself to make friends. There are some basic social skills taught but the lesson that the other crayons should make effort too is left out entirely and the fault is laid on the lone crayon. Wrong message and way too wordy for the ages it’s written for. Almost insulting.
As a pediatric nurse, I really appreciate Julia Cook's books! However, this is my favorite!! Wonderful way to teach children good character traits and help them see how they can improve friendships. More importantly, this book is my 7 year old daughters favorite book!This book is great for kids who feel left out or do not pick up on social ques as quickly as others may. It is also great for the child who tends to see the glass as half empty. Help your kid feel confident and use his "colors" Another excellent child self-help author is Dawn Hubner. Wonderful book on anxiety for kids.
I really like this book. I'm a school counselor and use this book with second graders to introduce the topic of "Friendship". Julia Cook's book are generally a big hit with all my peers and students.
My kiddo is autistic and these books are written and illustrated so well. They follow similar to our social stories we use. And the author address so many issues kiddos these days face, including mine. Highly recommend her books, we have many of them!
