Harold and the Purple Crayon
By Crockett Johnson (HarperCollins)
"One evening, after thinking it over for some time, Harold decided to go for a walk in the moonlight." With him he took his purple crayon. Drawing a moon, a path and other exciting things along the way, Harold uses his imagination to create the perfect midnight adventure.
Why You Should Own This Book: Originally published in 1955, Harold and the Purple Crayon is a classic tale that is great for fostering imagination. It has since developed into a series of adventures published in several different languages (Spanish, French, Italian, Finnish, Swedish, Danish, Dutch, German, Hebrew and Chinese). The book has also been adapted into a short 30-minute video and an adorable board game.
