Our favorite Harold Book

This is our favorite Harold book. When my son asks for Harold, this story is usually the one he's thinking of. And there's some humor for the parent as well, which I appreciate.

Another favorite from Crockett Johnson

Our son loves Harold and the Purple Crayon, so we ordered this Trip to the Sky story. At first I didn't find it as clever, but the more we read it, the more our son enjoys it. We love the imaginative exploration, Harold's ingenuity, and the simple yet unique drawings. The move from night to day is wonderfully sudden, and the play with words once again delightful. The dated paranoia about u.f.o.s is amusing to us, and it's the perfect kind of "scary" for a not-quite three-year-old.

One of the best children's books for the imagination.

As a child between the age of 6 and 8, I remember going to the library with my mother and checking out each of the adventure's that Harold had. I must have checked them all out more than ten times each. The concept of a small boy using his purple crayon to imagine many things was so fun. The vocabulary is suitable for the reccommended age group. The pictures are great. The spectacular thing and most valuable lesson is that it not only teaches one how to read, but it also says it's o.k. to have an imagination. Today I still remember how much I loved Harold and his purple crayon. I plan to buy all of the Harold books not only because of my love for them, but to one day share them with my children.
