Relation To Books Harold and the Purple Crayon (Harold #1)

"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.

Crit About Books Harold and the Purple Crayon (Harold #1)
I remember reading Harold and the Purple Crayon, by Crockett Johnson, as a child, so when I saw the book on the library shelves, I decided to check it out for my older daughter. When I read it to her, the feelings of disquietude that had plagued me as a child when I read the book (and which I had forgotten) were reawakened. Harold and the Purple Crayon is upsetting because it is not a journey into the imagination or even into a real yet magical world (a la Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things

As a little girl, this book was a daily bedtime read. I loved how Harold could create new worlds and adventures with his purple crayon. My mum thinks this started my love affair with all things purple. A great read which promotes imagination and creativity for kids. Inspirational for us grown-ups, too. My Rating: 5+ stars

... what are we missing? Small-fry was bored and his only thoughts were why doesnt Harold have any other colors? And hey, Kaylin! Purple is YOUR favorite color too!I get that is about imagination and silly and all that fun stuff. But its also just a kid scribbling things that somehow leads to an adventure??

I liked Harold and his purple crayon. This kid has an imagination! He fought beasts, made a picnic, went out to sea, floated on a balloon, made giant buildings; and all before bedtime. I liked the simplicity of the purple crayon/marker yet what he did with it was anything but simple. Very cool book to read before bedtime.

A true classic and for good reason! A marvelous story about all the places imagination (and a purple crayon) can take you! Don't let the book's apparent "simplicity" fool you--this is a treasure.I'm a creative person, but I'm not especially artistic in terms of drawing/painting/etc. so I could both appreciate Harold's creative spirit and his artistic talents that are beyond me! That said, I think even though Harold uses a purple crayon, the imagination and creativity can be so relevant to

If your child doesn't love this book, you've got an engineer on your hands (not that there's anything wrong with that).
