Clarion, 2019. 48 pages.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reading Level<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/category\/book-reviews\/picture-books-2\/\">Picture books, <\/a><\/strong>ages 4-8<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recommended For<\/strong>: Ages 4-8<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone who has colored with crayons knows that Crayola crayons really are the best. Cheaper, knockoff versions break more easily, don&#8217;t have the same brilliant pigment, and just aren&#8217;t as good. But how did those familiar childhood art supplies come to be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edwin Binney knew that the crayons kids used broke easily; they were made of charcoal and oil. In addition, they weren&#8217;t available in bright colors. As he looked around the natural world, Binney saw so much color! Why couldn&#8217;t they make crayons in bolder colors? And that didn&#8217;t break?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Melted wax turned out to be the key to stronger crayons (as anyone knows who&#8217;s eagerly smelled that classic Crayola smell!). Mixing the bright colors required more work and perseverance. But eventually Binney succeeded, much to the delight of children everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salerno&#8217;s art really makes this picture book biography. The palette on the pages mimics the colors used in crayons, from the early gray\/black days through the steps Binney took along the way to make more and more colors. Boisterous and bold, the pictures will delight children. The text keeps up, though, and text boxes throughout add more facts to the story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">*<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/category\/book-reviews\/starred-reviews\/\">indicates a Redeemed Reader starred review, an outstanding example in its field<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bottom Line:<\/strong> An outstanding example of a picture book biography, and a must for young artists and inventors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recommended-reading-at-redeemed-reader\">Recommended Reading at Redeemed Reader <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Review<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/2015\/02\/the-noisy-paint-box-by-barb-rosenstock-illustrated-by-mary-grandpre\/\"><em>The Noisy Paintbox <\/em>by Barbara Rosenstock<\/a><\/strong> is a picture book biography of Kandinsky; perhaps it will offer inspiration for kids who want to pull their crayons out and color!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Book Review:<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/2018\/11\/six-dots-a-story-of-young-louis-braille\/\"><em>Six Dots<\/em> by Jen Bryant<\/a><\/strong> is the story (in picture book form) of Louis Braille and how he invented the alphabet blind people use today.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Book Review:<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/2018\/08\/pass-go-and-collect-200-by-tanya-lee-stone\/\"><em>Pass Go and Collect $200<\/em> by Tanya Lee Stone<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 read the story of how Monopoly was invented.
