This book is absolutely adorable! Purple always has been my favorite color. How cool would it be if we could draw ourselves out of a situation as Harold can?
Written in 1955. My first grade class absolutely loved it, we spent a period writing about their favorite part (overwhelmingly, it was him drawing the buildings)
This has been one my very favorite books since I can remember my mother reading to me. It is very imaginative, and just fun! I am now reading it to my 8 month old daughter, who loves books and being read to.
