Wonderfully delightful. March 6, 2010
Buller (California)
These books have been around since I was born, but I never heard of them until my daughter-in-law decided to have her (yet to be born) son's nursery decorated with the Harold and the Purple Crayon theme. Wish I could find fabric with that theme. I am going to make a story quilt for our newest family member. The stories already mesmerize my two granddaughters. Glad the books are still around.

My two toddlers are enjoying hearing this story. They have taken to Harold and all his adventures. This book is very creative. It is a little out there on some letters but it is nice for the adult to read something with an unexpected story line.

Every child and every parent needs to know and love Harold and his majic crayon. Which ever book it is, it is worth reading at least 100 times, learning to know by heart and learning to know want that crayon represents. Let Harold into your child world and into your heart, you will be mistified and never forget Harold.
Love Harold! March 18, 2009

I worried that my little one wouldnt love these books like I did. They were absolute magic for me, but I'm Generation X and the only 'flashy' kid product we got was Sesame Street (still a fave) and even that's flashier now. The whole world is animation and soundtracks and though its fun and has its place... I worried the wonder of that purple crayon wouldnt hold up. I was wrong.
Harold (the original Crockett J versions) is a household favorite. My husband who grew up without them (and is the purveyor of much of the flashy commercial stuff in the house) LOVES them too.
Just... be ware the newer, non-Crockett Harolds. I found those disjointed and entirely lacking in magic.
Fantasic Alphabet Book for Children April 28, 2000

This book quite cleverly introduces the alphabet A to Z. Each letter is introduced in order and appears as part of the picture associated with it. Descriptive words use the letter, usually starting with it. Text leading to the next page (and next letter) suggests the next letter by using it at the beginning of some words, too. Very cleverly written. I grew up with "Harold and the Purple Crayon", which I like very much. I've enjoyed, as an adult other Harold books by Crockett Johnson. "Harold's ABCs" is an equal with the original.
