Harold and the Purple Crayon

Harold and the Purple Crayon is a book filled with the potential of a child's imagination. Written and illustrated by Crockett Johnson, copyright date 1955, this old story comes alive with every new pair of eyes that read it. In this story, Harold, with none other then the clothes on his back and a purple crayon, uses his imagination to create his own world with his purple drawings. The illustrations, although simple and VERY purple, are fun to look at, and I think would intrigue children to want to use their imaginations too. I recommend this fantastic book!
