a parent's delight, Oct 2 2008
By M. Heiss - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Adventures Of Harold And The Purple Crayon (omnibus) (Hardcover)
I used to love reading this book to the kids, before the baby became a toddler (see below).The drawings are clear. That little Harold is so darling -- all head and crayon and cuteness. The stories take Harold on adventures that always end safely at home in bed.
They are a fun way to imagine... what comes next? When we make up family stories, sometimes we try to find new directions to take a story, especially when one gets sidetracked (by silliness, grossness, etc. -- I have boys). These Harold stories do exactly the same thing: when Harold gets stuck, or nervous, or in danger, he just imagines his way out of it.
The books are very clever. The illustrations are basically line drawings, but they convey the story perfectly. I like this collection because it has 4 Harold stories together.
Anyway, my youngest went through a book-ripping phase about a year ago, so we put up all the books with pages and kept the board books down at his level. Somehow, Harold got misplaced. We got it out again this week, and to my joy, yesterday the 6-year old was reading it to the 3-year-old. They were laughing and giggling about the book, and I fell in love with the story all over again.
Awesome book.
***updated*** this book includes four stories:
Harold and the Purple Crayon
Harold's Fairy Tale
Harold's Trip to the Sky
Harold's Circus

My Second Book Review ( I'm Salena Legg, age 8), Dec 15 2010
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Adventures Of Harold And The Purple Crayon (omnibus) (Hardcover)
I really liked "The Adventures of Harold and the Purple Crayon" because it had adventures that I liked. I liked the designs that Harold drew on the wall, but I'm not allowed to draw on the wall. In the last chapter, Harold makes a circus that comes alive and he stands up on a rope and begins to fall and he tries to catch his balance. On the last page people are all around and give him a big hand of applause. He draws a lion without teeth then he sticks his head in the lion's mouth. Then he draws teeth. Then he draws monkey bar rings and he swings from ring to ring. He shoots out of a cannon. He draws a lemonade stand with a man selling lemonade. He draws a tall man and short guy. He draws a fat lady. He draws a clown. I will probably read the book again when I'm thirteen!

A delightful, imaginative tale, Feb 9 2008
By Charles Ashbacher - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Adventures Of Harold And The Purple Crayon (omnibus) (Hardcover)
When I encountered this book for the first time, I lamented the fact that I was unaware of it when my daughter was young. She would have loved it. Harold is a toddler with a magic purple crayon. With it, he can make anything he wants and engage in the most imaginative and creative adventures. When Harold needs something, he simply draws it.Some of Harold's adventures are flying in a rocket, landing on another planet, meeting an alien, riding a shooting star back home and eating a bowl of hot oatmeal. The adventures are not structured in the sense that the next event is largely unpredictable, which is consistent with the wandering that a child's mind will do.
