Harold and the Purple Crayon

My favorite book as a child was Harold and the Purple Crayon. The book was written and illustrated by Crockett Johnson. The book was originally published in 1955 and has recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. Armed with nothing but a purple crayon and his imagination Harold embarks on a marvelous journey. In addition to this book, several others have been added to the series. These books include, Harold's Fairy Tale, Harold's Trip to the Sky, Harold at the North Pole, Harold's ABC's, Harold's Circus, and finally A Picture for Harold's Room. These books are recommended for infants or children who are in preschool. However, for purposes of this project I recommend it to everyone.

    I read this book and its absolutely amazing. It's cute and shows how children think and how far a child's imagination takes them.
