Customer Reviews
2nd best of the series
Impossible to beat the original "Harold and the Purple Crayon", this is certainly the next best thing. This story is appealing to a somewhat older child than the original story, as it is a bit more complex. It is better than "Trip to the Sky", which has an odd story line that children do not follow as well. The new books that go with the television series are weak in comparison to the books written by Crockett Johnson.
Gets the imagination going!
You have to love Harold and his purple crayon! You never know where they are going to take you. In this adventure, he and his crayon meet a king who is sad because there are no flowers in his enchanted garden. Well, Harold finds the reason for this crime and takes care of it.
Well written and in such a nice rhythm. Your child will ask questions, think up scenarios, and wonder aloud at what will happen next.
It's so cute!
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!
