Product description
Synopsis
First published in 1955, this classic tells the story of young Harold, whose purple crayon and his imagination take him on wonderful adventures. Full color.

One evening Harold decided to go for a walk in the moonlight. But there wasn't any moon, and Harold needed a moon for a walk in the moonlight. Fortunately, he had brought his purple crayon. So he drew a moon. He also needed something to walk on. So he drew a path... And thus begins one of the most imaginative and enchanting adventures in all of children's books. The creative concept behind this beloved story has intrigued children and kept them absorbed for generations, as page by page unfolds the dramatic and clever adventures of Harold and his purple crayon.

Child Will Want To Read Again and Again!

Review For: Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson (1981, Paperback, Special, Anniversary)

This book is very adventurous and imaginative. Harold goes on a journey that he creates himself with his trusty purple crayon and the ending is quite sweet too. My daughter grabbed a purple crayon and started drawing her own adventures after reading this book! Awesome read for a preschooler!

Harold and the Purple Crayon

Review For: Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson (1981, Paperback, Special, Anniversary)

This is a child's reader I have loved for many years. I loved it when I was a little boy and I raised my twin boys on this same wonderful story. In fact I read it to them so often they would say some of the words of the story even before they learned to talk. Now when I can't sleep they get and read it to me.

Review For: Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson (1981, Paperback, Special, Anniversary)

Harold and the Purple Crayon is a very imaginative story and my son just loves it, when I purchased it for him for a birthday present, I didn't realize it would soon move to the top of his favorite storys list. This book is super!

Perfect for my kids. Never tire of it.

My girls (age 3 and 4) LOVE all the Harold stories, so this was a perfect compendium of many of them in one place. They are delightful stories with simple and interesting illustrations. Perfect for my kids.
