Product Description

"One night, after thinking it over for some time, Harold decided to go for a walk in the moonlight." So begins this gentle story that shows just how far your imagination can take you. Armed only with an oversized purple crayon, young Harold draws himself a landscape full of beauty and excitement. But this is no hare-brained, impulsive flight of fantasy. Cherubic, round-headed Harold conducts his adventure with the utmost prudence, letting his imagination run free, but keeping his wits about him all the while. He takes the necessary purple-crayon precautions: drawing landmarks to ensure he won't get lost; sketching a boat when he finds himself in deep water; and creating a purple pie picnic when he feels the first pangs of hunger.

Crockett Johnson's understated tribute to the imagination was first published in 1955, and has been inspiring readers of all ages ever since. Harold's quiet but magical journey reminds us of the marvels the mind can create, and also gives us the wondrous sense that anything is possible. (Ages 4 to 8)

Just a warning to buyers of books - look at the size of the book you are buying. I was disappointed to receive such a small book. Being a teacher reading these to my class was a challenge because of the small size, pages, pictures etc.

This was a great book for a young child, because it's not too long so it keeps their attention pretty well. It doesn't have too much going on, so it's perfect to read to an infant. My 3 month old will actually sit on my lap through most or all of the book. Later, it will be a good book to help him learn, because it has short and simple sentences.

This book is so special for children and for adults! Harold creates his own magical world with only a simple crayon. It promotes the wonder of imagination in children, and is truly a classic book. Every child should own this book (and that goes for adult sized children too!)

This is a classic, just reissued. It is one of my standard gifts to families with young children.

My children loved this book even though I was doubtful after seeing that the pictures are only in black and purple (the crayon drawings) but I was happily surprised when they asked me to read it repeatedly. I think it's a great bedtime story. Highly recommended for ages 3 - 6.
