Love from the Crayons Reviews
-
More whimsical than humorous, this is a true love story to you from all the colours in your crayon box! A great book to read not just on Valentine's Day, but any day!
-
Short, sweet, and to the point. This will make kiddos giggle and one that parents will read multiple times in one sitting. The repetitiveness will be useful for early readers. A fun return of the crayons that children will love!

Preface
Cute and a little small. Nothing overwhelmingly different, but I believe a toddler or even a young kid would love it.

From the creators of The Day The Crayons Quit and The Day The Crayons Came Home, comes a new title that features the same band of loveable crayons with a simple story about love.
Love From The Crayons is not as detailed or complex a story as the first two books. Rather, it is a simple book, with one line of text per page that follows the same pattern “Love is brown...because sometimes love stinks”, starring the ironic crayons and matching crayon drawings.
It’s a great book for young fans of the other two books, as a seasonal gift perfect for Valentine’s Day or for adding to collections about love or feelings. While the book acknowledges the range of positive and negative emotions in love, it doesn’t go into why love is sometimes orange and yellow, sunny and warm or is sometimes brown, black or blue. Leaving further elaboration to readers, the drawings also don’t delve deeper than providing an illustration for the colours— black a colourless rainbow, or orange and yellow as the sun.
Love From The Crayons is sure to delight fans of the original two books, or maybe encourage new readers to explore all the fantastic stories about the colourful crayons.
The publishers provided an advanced readers copy of this book for reviewing purposes. All opinions are my own.

Nope, nope, nope. Ok first of all why is brown about poop and love stinking? Also I did not like the black one either about love not always being bright and colorful. They could have said something like "Love is black like a starless night. You can't always see it but it's always there." Why are we teaching children that love isn't a good thing? If it stinks or isn't colorful, then it seems to me like it's not actually love.

I was excited to come across a new book for Valentine's Day toddler story time, only to get disappointed when I see the pages of the colors brown and black and they are - at this day and age - still shown associated with negative feelings... :(

5 yo rave review
From my 5 yo reader - it is so colorful and it is so great because it is about love. -
Love is Love.
Such a beautiful story. -
I didn't think that today my mind would be blown by a picture book about crayons. Yet here I am, emotionally moved by these simple messages about the many forms of crayon affection. Starting with a traditional red heart "Love comes in all shapes and sizes" to a charming "sunny and warm" there is quite the gamut depicted.
Recommended for children, adults, and more. -
Cashing in on the success of THE DAY THE CRAYONS QUIT. This one is a mediocre read aloud for Valentine’s Day.
-
What they did to brown is just wrong...
-
In this very short book, each page shares both positive and negative actions, feelings, or metaphors that are associated with a specific color of love. It’s a tiny package, but could be nicely used as a mentor text. The book doesn’t share specifically how the artwork was created, but it appears crayons were definitely involved. :)

Perfect for fans of The Day The Crayons Quit, this is a really cute little book about how love comes in lots of different colours. Some of them were really sweet, while others made me say 'huh?' as I wasn't really sure of the connection between the colour and what it stood for.
Perfect to get for someone special instead of a Valentine's Day Card! -
Some of the lines are cute; some of them don't make sense. Either way, it's an innocuous tribute to love that cashes in on the success of the Crayons series.

Sweet Love
The the crayons are showing their love now. My students always like the Peach crayon the best. A sweet book kids will love. Ahh love! -
Love is explained by the crayons from the crayon box. Love is all the colors one can think of.
-
Relevant for all ages!
-
Een lief boek om cadeau te doen.
-
Upon finishing the book, I checked out the author's Goodreads profile and apparently, 'Love from the Crayons' is pretty much a bonus installment to an ongoing series that is centered around the crayons. This title is a perfect gift material that could be conferred to your dear one on the V-day or any day of the year. It explores the different hues of love and it left a warm, fuzzy feeling in my heart as I flipped the final page.
-
Different colored crayons represent different aspects of love.
I was a little disappointed that the brown crayon got “Love stinks,” accompanied by a drawing of poop. None of the other colors represented something solely negative. Brown could be earthy or messy as in muddy or bittersweet as in chocolate or warm and fuzzy as in bear fur.
Update 2023: In the newer edition, love is brown because “love is as sweet as chocolate.” -
Reused illustrations from The Day the Crayons quit with minimal text and no storyline like the other books. Very disappointed. This seems like a money grab from the publisher with not a lot of thought having to be thrown into this. Waste of $10. Buy the originals and leave it at that.
-
A blatant cash grab with a tenuous tie to Valentine's Day. Very disappointing.
-
eh, fine
-
Not really what I thought it would be, but it's adorable! I can't wait to take it to my school and read it to my 5-6 y/os. Their review will follow.

Love from the crayons is based around love being every colour because love can be shown in lots fo different ways. This is a sweet book which spreads the message of inclusion. Young children could use this book as a framework to create their own piece of writing, explaining a feeling or emotion in lots of different ways. I would read this book with FS or year 1 children who I'm sure would find the book calming and fun to read as well as enjoying the illustrations which are drawn in a children's style, making them recognisable to children.
