Clever idea; very well executed - By: J. E. Davidson, 21 Mar 2005
This book follows the further adventures of Harold & his purple crayon. If you are already familiar with 'Harold & the purple crayon' then you know what to expect this is another charming storyin the same style as the original.

Harold draws things with his purple crayon & then interacts with the things that he has drawn. The text is simple but the story is strong - the illustrations are basic (they are just pictures that you could draw with a purple crayon!) but very effective.

Great fun & very stimulating. When I read it with my son (4) it provoked a number of quite complicated questions about the nature of reality & imagination.

Highly recommended.

It's so cute! - By: , 11 Apr 1999
This was the cutest book I've ever read. If you're thinking about reading a short story this summer, read "Harold's Fairy Tale:Further Adventures with the Purple Crayon." By: Crockett Johnson. Remember this book deserves five stars. Have fun reading!
