"3.) Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson Johnson, C. (1955) Harold and the purple crayon. HarperCollins Publishers. Illustrated by Crockett Johnson Summary: This story is about a little boy who draws pictures with a purple crayon. His pictures take him and the children reading the story on adventures all over the place. Children will love this story because it allows them to see and experience things they may not have ever seen before. I would use this story as a way to incorporate art and writing together. Having the children draw a picture and then write a story about their adventure they drew."
"This book delights me!!! It reminds me of my sister. She absolutely adored this book when we were little and Harold, with his imagination, reminds me of her... such a funny little character, full of life. I love Harold. I love the crayon. I love that the crayon is purple, my sister's favorite color. I love that all you need is a crayon and imagination to go on wild adventures. As my sister and I have often said to one another, "Are we on another adventure?" Oh, the glory of life!!"
"This book is a great book to show children imagination in use. The only "real" things in the book are Harold and his purple crayon. The rest of the story is Harold on a journey making his journey exciting by drawing things from his imagination with his purple crayon. Harold can walk on the things he draws and use them like they are real; overall this is a wonderful book for children. At the end they will wonder if his journey was real or not! This book will spark and help guide a child's imagination!"
"i gave this book as a gift at a baby shower. i have never actually heard of the book, but after reading summaries, i think that it would be a great way to inspire creativity and imagination in the young ones. as a little boy builds line upon line with his single crayon, he imagines endless, exciting adventures- there are no limits to his creations (a skill that is so important in life). the processing & shipping of this book was speedy & hassle-free.........great job!"
