Harold’s simultaneous creation and exploration of a fantasy world is enticing for readers who have already begun the process of generating imaginary worlds and events for the purposes of play and can see themselves in the infinitely powerful artist the center of this story. The illustrations are exciting for children who are just learning about the world and all it contains. We watch Harold create buildings, mountains, trees, and figures of authority to affirm his own choices, before finally drawing his own home around himself and going to sleep in his own bed. It isn’t clear whether the room Harold draws is the same one he departed from at the beginning of the story, but this gives the safety of the story’s ending an aura of enticing mystery and awe.

Maybe a little long for our boy’s taste right now, but goodness did I love revisiting this book. It still got the official Owen Pat of Approval at the end though, even if some tears were shed over his mean, mean mama not letting him taste and chew it at the end.

This is such a sweet story of a child and his agimation. Harold wants to go on a moonlit stroll but there is no moon. That is not a worry because Harold has his purple crayon and he adventures far and wide with his crayon by his side. Super cute.
