Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson (Paperback)
Rating
;){kind=link}
-
Harold, a young boy, takes his magical purple crayon for a walk and draws out his own adventures and wonders. Follow him as he draws the moon and path to guide him through purple adventures from picnics to sailboats, then the trip home....more
Although the text is very direct, this story about a little boy named Harold is full of imagination and adventure. One night, Harold decides to go for a walk in the moonlight, and so, using his seemingly magical purple crayon, he draws himself a moon and a path, and sets off on his adventure. As he walks on, Harold draws himself such things as a very small forest, a fierce dragon, a sailboat, and even a picnic meal consisting solely of his nine favorite types of pie. Eventually, Harold gets lost, but by using the moon as his guide, he manages to find his way safely back home. In the simple illustrations, Harold is depicted in shades of brown and white while his drawings are, of course, shown in purple. First published in 1955, Harold and the Purple Crayon is a classic homage to the powers of imagination and art. The character of Harold appears in several other picture books including Harold's Fairy Tale, and A Picture for Harold's Room.

Just Right!
The book, "Harold and the Purple Crayon" (50th anniversary edition) came just a promised. I was slightly disappointed that the size of this edition was significantly reduced over that of the original edition, but I can live with that.
