“One of the world’s most beloved children’s books.” - Horn Book
"[Harold and the Purple Crayon] is one of my favorite children’s books. I’ve read it to my kids so many times." - actress, singer, and songwriter Zooey Deschanel
The story follows straightforward toddler reasoning, and ends up playfully illustrating cause and effect. The best part of the book is that its world is built entirely by a single child, sending a message that’s charming for readers of any age: Adventure can be available to anybody who thinks to seek it. - The Atlantic 65 Essential Children's Books, 2025
