Harold and the Purple Crayon

My husband's favorite book from childhood. He loved it so much he wanted to get a copy for my niece's baby shower. It's a cute story, very good for kids at a range of ages.

Single greatest book on the topic ever. The original and still the best. Harold, a kid with a vivid imagination, creates his own reality and changes that reality as he wishes. So simple, so cool. This board book is great for kids.

This was an impulse buy--I remember this story from when I was a kid. My granddaughters were coming for a visit--and I wanted to share this wonderful little story with them without paying the higher prices for a mint condition book store copy. This was perfect. The book felt read, not like some bookstore copy, cold and sterile. This was a read book. The copy was gently and loving used--it had the nostalgic feel of a book from my childhood. No marks, no ripped pages, nothing to distract from the story and those wonderful illustrations. Just a perfect artifact from my childhood. The girls loved the story and took the book home with them.

I bought this as a gift for my grandson. I read this to my girls when they were little. Big favorite in my family!

I first was introduced to Harold 60 years ago and recently bought a couple prints of the book for my two 5 yr old grandkids, with a special message from Bumpa (that's me). Great story. Simple. Clean. Wholesome.

A classic that I loved when I was a child. Had to have it for my grandsons!!!

I mistook “hard” as toddler-friendly hard pages, like the last time I ordered. I was mistaken. Pages are paper. 😅

I bought this for some students & it’s a great size. The hardcover is sturdy & the pictures are great.
