Wonderful!

Harold is a little boy who owns a magic purple crayon. Everything he draws with it turns real, so what he had planned as just a little walk in the moonlight turns into a great adventure. Crockett Johnson plays out this idea with great imagination and humor (I particularly enjoy the puns, such as "he drew up the covers").

What makes the book great, though, is the ending. The lost and somewhat worried Harold finds his way back home when he realizes that his bedroom window is--and always has been, always will be--"right around the moon", and that's exactly where he draws it. Home is where the heart is, a nice message for little kids.

There's No Better Book On Earth With The Word "Crayon" In Its Title

Somehow I managed to be unaware of this book until I read it for the first time the other day. All I can ask is, how the heck did I live this long and never hear of a book this awesome?!! Harold is the coolest boy in literature this side of Max. (Aww, you don't really need to ask "Max who?" do ya?) Reading about Harold's travels with his wondrous purple crayon opened my mind right up and put me into a terrific state of consciousness. The mid-twentieth-century was a golden age of children's books that showed again and again a streak of idealistic expectation that remains unmatched in books published at any other time. I love stories like Harold and the Purple Crayon, and so will anyone with an imagination, be they in their single-digit years or well beyond!

Harold and the Purple Crayon

My 4yr old son LOVES this book. We read it almost every night. I highly suggest this creative book for any boy or girl.

Son loves this book

We recently purchased this book for our 2 1/2 yr old son. This is the first book that after reading to him, he has said, "Read it again!" We read this at least three times in a row the first night.

Harold uses his crayon to bring his imagination to life and take him on an adventure. He wants to take a walk in the moonlight, so he draws a moon and a path...later he needs something to eat, so he draws his favorite pies...he can't eat all the pie, so he draws animals to finish the pie...

It really is an adorable book and does a great job of capturing the child's imagination.
