Book Reviews of Harold and the Purple Crayon 50th Anniversary Edition (Purple Crayon Books)
Book Review: A Blast From My Past
Summary: 5 Stars
As a child, I loved HAROLD AND THE PURPLE CRAYON. I reconnected with this story when I became a mom, and received a copy from my aunt to share with my daughter. Even after all these years, the lessons of HAROLD AND THE PURPLE CRAYON are fresh and true. This is a classic that I am thrilled to be able to share with my wee one.
Harold is gifted with a big, bold, and beautiful imagination. The drawings he creates with his favorite purple crayon take him wherever he wants to go, wherever he can dream. What a fantastic lesson for anyone. If you are looking for adventure, you need look no further than your imagination...and your trusty purple crayon.
The illustrations for HAROLD AND THE PURPLE CRAYON are ingenious and very simple - basic line drawings, in the color purple. They look like the drawings of a young child, and the single color palate forces you to look at the details Harold is drawing, not the colors.
My nearly 4 year old daughter loves hearing HAROLD AND THE PURPLE CRAYON at bedtime. It really sparks her imagination and gets her thinking and dreaming, and I can see the wheels turning as she falls a sleep. My little one has a very vivid imagination anyway; HAROLD AND THE PURPLE CRAYON just reminds her that her imagination is all she really needs. Along, of course, with her purple crayon.
