蜡笔的圣诞节

蜡笔的圣诞节开始是邓肯,看不见的男孩,正在圣诞贺卡和他的蜡笔,邮递员带来一封信,“只有它不是对他来说。”It's addressed to "Peach Crayon, Apt. 4, Crayon Box, Duncan's Room, on the bookshelf (next to weird pen holder)." It's from that crayon's mom and dad in Florida. Inside the envelope, along with their letter, is a cardboard image of Peach Crayon and several different outfits, including a Santa suit and a reindeer sweater that readers can punch out and use to dress the crayon (like a paper doll). The next day, after they all play in the snow, Duncan brings down a box of Christmas decorations. Readers find things in the box to punch out: Silver Crayon (left in the box since last year), a candy cane, an elf, some ornaments. The next day, the crayons decorate the house and another letter is delivered: this one to Beige Crayon from his dad, who sends along a recipe for gluten-free Christmas cookies, because "I heard you're allergic to gluten now, from coloring in all that wheat." Each letter and all the dialogue is full of wit and inside jokes for fans of the series. The crayons hear from three other crayons who couldn't make it back home for Christmas and Hanukkah. And they color in a big pop-up Christmas tree as a surprise gift for Duncan. "In this season of giving, they decided to give back to the boy who had always given them love, respect, and even a home."
