Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Absolutely superb
I had this book as a small child and bought it for my sons. It's still as fascinating and slightly scarey as it was all those years ago. You feel anything is possible with Harold and his purple crayon..



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Clever idea; very well executed.
This book follows the adventure of Harold and his purple crayon. Harold draws things with his purple crayon and then interacts with the things that he has drawn. The text is simple but the story is strong - the illustrations are basic (they are just pictures that you could draw with a purple crayon!) but very effective.

Great fun and very stimulating. When I read it with my son (4) after having forgotten about the book for a while it provoked a huge number of quite complicated questions about the nature of reality and imagination.

Highly recommended.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the Best
This book was an excellent recommendation for me and my children (through Sarks' Playbook). It's got us all drawing just for the adventure of it. Very endearing illustration with a feel of a more innocent and friendly time. Great for children but, really, good for adults with a creative drive. Love it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Funny and imaginative, loved by all ages
A wonderful way to get children to draw using their imagination with just a simple line.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - a revolutionary idea of dreams.
Harold's adventures with his crayon become the epitome of the "American-Dream." He creates his life to his own specifications, an idealistic utopia where the only problem is how to get home. We should all be as lucky as Harold.
