"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. Crockett Johnson's understated tribute to the imagination was first published in 1955, and has been inspiring readers of all ages ever since. Harold's quiet but magical journey reminds us of the marvels the mind can create, and also gives us the wondrous sense that anything is possible. (Ages 4 to 8)
Product Description
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.

Great Memories for My Little Girl November 17, 2009
Erin Stanley (Tulelake, CA USA)
This was my favorite book when I was a little girl and I wanted to share the same good memories with my little girl. I was very impressed with the quick arrival and the mint condition of the book itself. I am going to be giving my daughter the book for her fifth birthday in a few weeks and cannot wait to see the look on her face!
Harold &the Purple Crayon November 16, 2009
Crocket Johnson is a wonderful writer. Harold
and the Purple Crayon is one of my favorite books by her.
Harold and the Purple Crayon is about a boy named Harold who
goes on a adventure with just a purple crayon. He draws the
whole adventure! It is a great book for young readers.

No child should grow up without a copy of Herold and the Purple Crayon and all the adventure he can take them on.
