Customer Reviews

Fantasic Alphabet Book for Children
This book quite cleverly introduces the alphabet A to Z. Each letter is introduced in order and appears as part of the picture associated with it. Descriptive words use the letter, usually starting with it. Text leading to the next page (and next letter) suggests the next letter by using it at the beginning of some words, too. Very cleverly written. I grew up with "Harold and the Purple Crayon", which I like very much. I've enjoyed, as an adult other Harold books by Crockett Johnson. "Harold's ABCs" is an equal with the original.

There is No One Like Harold
Every child and every parent needs to know and love Harold and his majic crayon. Which ever book it is, it is worth reading at least 100 times, learning to know by heart and learning to know want that crayon represents. Let Harold into your child world and into your heart, you will be mistified and never forget Harold.

Love Harold!
I worried that my little one wouldnt love these books like I did. They were absolute magic for me, but I'm Generation X and the only 'flashy' kid product we got was Sesame Street (still a fave) and even that's flashier now. The whole world is animation and soundtracks and though its fun and has its place... I worried the wonder of that purple crayon wouldnt hold up. I was wrong.

Harold (the original Crockett J versions) is a household favorite. My husband who grew up without them (and is the purveyor of much of the flashy commercial stuff in the house) LOVES them too.

Just... be ware the newer, non-Crockett Harolds. I found those disjointed and entirely lacking in magic.
