You don't need to have read the other Crayons books in the series in order to enjoy this one, but it does help. It's a fun counting book with crayons with silly personalities and sundry complaints about their colorful existences--what's not to like? My one complaint is that the childish font used for much of the text makes it hard for my new little reader to make out the letters and words.
