Some other crayons write in from various places with various complaints.
Gold Crayon's upset because he was blunted coloring in gold coins. For instance, he sends a postcard from Egypt, but claims he's in New Jersey. We get periodic updates from Neon Crayon who is intensely confused about where he is in the world. But now Glow In The Dark Crayon is trapped in the basement and he is scared. One of the children's favorites might be the glow-in-the-dark page (tantalizingly mentioned on the cover) in which Glow In The Dark Crayon reminisces about when he and Duncan drew scary stuff on the wall to convince Duncan's little brother that there was a ghost under the basement stairs. could you please OPEN the FRONT DOOR? I still need to see the world. Then we get an update from Estaban the Magnificent: It's gross, but kids will probably get a kick out of it. Then there's the grosser ones like “Tan or Possibly Burnt Sienna” who was eaten by a dog and puked up on the living room rug. You can make Green the sun for all we care, just bring us HOME!
Yellow and Orange (as you remember they were fighting about who was the “true color of the sun” in Book One) are now fused together in an unholy mutation after being left out in the aforementioned sun. After eight months of waiting for Duncan to come get him, he's decided to walk back. Neon Red is writing from the Ritz Motel where he was left by the pool after Duncan used him to color in his dad's sunburn. LOL LOL We see Pea Green, oh, excuse me, I mean Esteban the Magnificent putting on his cape and running heroically. So I'm changing my name and running away to see the WORLD. We see a bearded Robinson Crusoe-lookin' crayon with a happy waving paper clip wrapped around his waist. I'm finally better, so come get me! And can Paper Clip come too? He's really holding me together. Anyway, you LOST me TWO years ago in the couch, then your dad SAT on me and BROKE ME IN HALF! I never would have survived had PAPERclip not NURSED me back to health. You only colored with me once, to draw a scab, but whatever. They are writing to him from exotic locations. Duncan gets a stack of postcards in the mail from his disgruntled crayons.
