Harold and the Purple Crayon Board book – Illustrated, March 27, 2012

I enjoyed this book as a child and made sure my daughters and grandkids got to enjoy it as well. Sweet, simple story of a boy and in my opinion, and magic purple crayon. Book is small enough for a child to handle with no issues as well.

This was the first book I ever read by myself -- I was 3, and it's now many decades later. This book is timeless. It stimulates childrens' interest in drawing and whets their imagination. I have gifted this book many times and always receive positive feedback from the kids.

This is a great book for children because they get to see what Harold’s drawing through his imagination… great book one of my favorites.

My favorite book for "children" of all time.But then that's me.I should add, I've seen the trailer for the movie. Perhaps I'm being unfair having not seen the entire film, but it appears completely off the mark. This a simple, story of innocence and imagination, of insecurity and confidence, and our perception of reality.

This is a great story for readers in the 7-10 years old range. This book has been a favorite for years, and now they are going to make a movie of it!

Follow Harold as he creates a universe with his purple crayon. This is a wonderful book about space, time, physics, and Harold's journey to find his bedroom in a world that he creates out of his imagination. I read this book over and over when I was a child almost 60 years ago, and it is as vivid to me now as it was then. I love sharing it with my grandchildren today!

I had forgotten about this book until I saw previews for the movie. It is a fun book

Liked everything except the misrepresentation of the cover. Purchase is a gift.

Classic book! Many fond memories reading this as a child.

bow to thee Crockett Johnson.

On adore cette histoire. C'est vraiment poétique.

Nothing beats reading a book from your childhood into your childrens childhood. It’s exactly as I remember it. Also the condition it arrived in? A bookworms dream because it was in mint pristine condition. Would absolutely buy it again if I needed to get this as a gift for someone else. Kids adore this book.

The book is amazing. It has simple illustration and only two colours but explain fantasy to the kids. Through the simple line that the young Harold trace with his purple crayon a world is revealed.
