Description

From the treasured creator of Harold and the Purple Crayon, Crockett Johnson, comes another adventure for Harold and his magical purple crayon.

Unable to fall asleep one night, Harold uses his purple crayon to create his very own bedtime fairy tale, complete with castles, fairies, flying carpets, and an enchanted garden.

"An ingenious and original little picture story in which a small boy out for a walk--happily with a crayon in his hand--draws himself some wonderful adventures." (The Horn Book)

Critical Reviews
