Harold loves his Purple Crayon. One evening he decides to go for a walk in the moon light. He draws anything that he thinks 'needs to happen' with his Purple Crayon.
He draws the moon and a straight road to follow and sets off on his adventurous journey. He draws what he desires and sometimes falls in difficult situations. He is a smart child and draws his way out. When Harold found himself drowning in the ocean, he quickly drew a boat, climbed on it and sailed off.
He comes across a forest, is frightened by a dragon, enjoys a picnic on the beach and has many more adventures before he returns home and falls asleep.
This book is a wonderful way of exploring the powers of imagination, quick thinking and perseverance. It encourages the child to think creatively when faced with problems.
Age Group : Early readers, 4 to 6 years
After reading the book, there are a lot of parent- child activities that you can do with your child.
- When you are stuck in the traffic, next time, you can ask your child what Harold would draw to help you out of the situation. Hopefully, you can avoid the usual - "why is the car not moving, Mom ????" question by doing this :)
- On a big drawing paper both of you can take turns to draw. Say, you draw a mountain,"It is the highest mountain in the world". Your child adds some more details.He draws a boy with a bag pack "This is me, I want to climb it". Go on and spin an amazing story together !!!
What is your child's favorite color ?
