On reading them, Duncan discovers that each crayon has expressed how frustrated and upset it was about Duncan’s colouring habits. Poor little Duncan is now confused, sad and left with a massive crayon-crisis he has to resolve. He devises a plan for how he will meet every need of his crayons so that he can continue to colour and let his imagination flow freely on his papers.
