Best Childrens Book
This is a great book easy for children to read and know what they are reading. i sujest you get all of the harolds books starting with this one and the going to harold and the pruple crayon.. these books take a kids imagination and make them become life like... the author of these books knows how to hold a childs mind to keep them to want to keep reading til they get to the end..

not my favorite
I am a big fan of Harold and The Purple Crayon books. They really spark my 4 year old's imagination. But if your child tends to be easily frightened this will not be your favorite. Harold runs into a large lion with very big teeth, and falls thinking he will be caught by the elephant but gets caught by the lion instead.

dated but comforting
First published in 1959, this Harold book describes Harold's adventures as he draws his way through a circus. The style is minimalist and the activities are dated, but the story is also simple and active -- and very interesting to toddlers and young children. In this very fast world, this book helps kids (and parents) slow down a bit.
