Bedtime Story: Harold and the Purple Crayon

Synopsis from Goodreads: ""One night, after thinking it over for some time, Harold decided to go for a walk in the moonlight." So begins this gentle story that shows just how far your imagination can take you. Armed only with an oversized purple crayon, young Harold draws himself a landscape full of beauty and excitement. But this is no hare-brained, impulsive flight of fantasy. Cherubic, round-headed Harold conducts his adventure with the utmost prudence, letting his imagination run free, but keeping his wits about him all the while. He takes the necessary purple-crayon precautions: drawing landmarks to ensure he won't get lost; sketching a boat when he finds himself in deep water; and creating a purple pie picnic when he feels the first pangs of hunger"


My Review: This was one children's book I never remember reading but I have to say its very cute! I loved the illustrations and the fun creativity used to write this book. I also liked how it was about creating your own adventures with imagination (I guess even if it means writing on your mother's wall with a crayon). I really did enjoy the simplicity of Harold and the Purple Crayon.

My Rating: I think Harold and the Purple Crayon deserves Four Paws! It has definitely stood the test of time (mine is the 50th anniversary edition)!

Good Night, Sweet Dreams
