• Summary of content/review: This text takes children through the making process of a writing utensil they use daily. This book is procedural in nature `because it depicts a process, though it does not engage the reader `in `making the product themselves.
• Evaluation: This story is relevant to children in the classroom because crayons are common utensils both at home and at school. The setting of this story has children think about where these crayons come from and how they are made.
• Target audience: 1st-4th grade
• Connection to classroom: I would use this story when introducing types of informational text, specifically, how things are made. I think this is a great book to use for this purpose because most children have had positive experiences with crayons.
