PURPLE POWER

I wasn't too sure if my Kindergarten students would enjoy this story, but they were very excited about it. They were totally engaged in every page. It's a great book for teaching sequencing. I followed up the story by having each child draw in purple crayon only, their adventure. Instead of "Harold and the Purple Crayon" they put their name in the title. It gave them an opportunity to use their imagination, just as Harold had done. This 50th Anniversary story has stood the test of time.

the power of imagination

This was one of my favorites as a child. I can't count the number of times I read this book, then got out my crayons and drew my own worlds.

I've been reading this book to my son since he was two weeks old. The simple illustrations captivated his attention, and he would lean against my chest, stare at the pictures, and listen to my voice. Such a precious moment. He briefly lost interest when he was concentrating on getting where he wanted to go, then came back around to it. Sometimes he'd carry it to me saying "weed, mommy." He's four now, and we still enjoy reading it together.

It's been wonderful to see his reactions change as he gets older. This is one of those stories with many layers, so children of all ages will find something new. Such a fabulous book.

This quickly became my 3 year olds FAVORITE book!

We love books and I try to provide my daughter with many good quality and age appropriate stories. She LOVES this book! It's an easy read and is completely adorable! I would highly suggest adding this book to your collection!

Everything I remembered

I read this as a child and remember it fondly. I recently bought a copy for my granddaughter. Don't tell her I read it myself before giving it to her! It's everything I remember; very cute and enjoyable.

Classics live forever

As a child, I loved the "Harold and the Purple Crayon" book series. As an adult, I am glad that I can share them with my child. Some traditions deserve to be passed on from generation to generation, and this is one of them. Thanks to the 'Harold' stories, I gained a love for reading at a young age. A love that I hope my son will have as well. Theses books inspire imagination and creativity, as well as curiosity. I would recommend them to anyone with kids. The perfect books to learn and grow with!
