This is a great book to get in hardcover because you will use it alot if you have children of your own. If you are a children's literature collector you will want to look at older hard to find copies to invest in. For the rest of us this is a beloved favorite baby gift, but an even better first grader book. If you have a slow reader this book will help those who are struggling to read the opportunity to read a BIG book and for reasons I do not know it is often a "boy" favorite. The language is not babyish or unfriendly to adults so it will be a great laptime read for uncles and aunts to read as fill in bedtime readers.
I read this book to my son, and now I’m reading it to my daughter. It’s great for kids of all ages! It’s a great bedtime story. Harold and the purple crayon is one that’s passed down from generation to generation!

I bought this book for my son because I remember reading it when I was younger and I loved it. Now, my son has me read it to him every single night before bed. It's a wonderful story with a simple line and pictures that make it easy for him to follow along. I had forgotten just how much I loved this book until we read it together.
The books was in perfect condition, but my kids did not find this book interesting at all. It was pretty much thrown to the side due to the lack of color and boring story line. Nothing wrong with the purchase though. It was nearly new.

In this world filled with electronics and programs that think for you, this simple book using your imagination is priceless. Just think if all the lights go out - this book will help to show you how to think and have fun no matter where you are!
