I had never really found an interest in reading this book before recently. By a glance I assumed it was about a boy drawing on his walls with a Crayon. It was by chance that we downloaded a sample book app for the Kindle Fire and my toddler has been able to play with a few scenes. As app it is very neat. Then when we got our hands on [b:Harper Collins Treasury Of Picture Book Classics: A Child's First Collection 1157711 HarperCollins Treasury of Picture Book Classics A Child's First Collection Katherine Brown Tegen https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1347447886l/1157711.SX50.jpg 1145293] she saw the book fiver for Harold and insisted we read Harold tonight. In the end I'm glad we did. Never had it occurred to me when this book crossed my path over the years that it was really a classic from even before my parents youth. It is so simple in color and design that really the entire thing promotes imagination. It proved to be an enjoyable bedtime story and thinking about it I think I just might be able to come up with some go along activities. I definitely will not mind reading this one again.scheduled: http://creativemadnessmama.com/blog/2012/06/01/harold-and-the-purple-crayon/
