Our Review

Pick up the latest tale in the classic Harold and the Purple Crayon series and follow Harold as he hunts for treasure! This new story based on Crockett Johnson’s beloved character encourages readers to pick up their crayons and use their imagination to go wherever they’d like. A moonlit walk on the beach makes Harold yearn for adventure on the high seas! With his trusty purple crayon in hand, the curious Harold finds a ship and sails off to meet a pirate captain, a mermaid, and sea creatures (some friendly and some frightening), in hopes of finding treasure! Ever since the publication of Harold and the Purple Crayon in 1955, Crockett Johnson’s crayon-wielding hero has had a devoted following. This exciting new story featuring the classic character, with its clever and inventive twists, will delight fans old and new.
