Duncan, the protagonist of the book, loves colouring and looks forward to using his box of crayons whenever possible. His passion comes to a grinding halt one day when he opens his box of crayons and only discovers letters instead of his colouring aids. It seems that the crayons have had enough and a long line of complaints await Duncan and his curious mind. Each colour appears to have a unique problem, with the exception of green who doesn't have any issues he would like to address. Duncan faces a unique dilemma, one that should not befall any child who loves colouring. What will the poor boy do and how will he unite his colours and get back to his favourite pastime?
