Harold and the Purple Crayon

Harold and the Purple Crayon is my all time FAVORITE book! This delightful and charming story is about Harold, a young boy who uses his giant imagination and a purple crayon to draw his own adventure under the moonlight. The creativity that this story sparks is inspiring. It is a wonderful read-a-loud and has plenty to discuss with your young reader. I know my kids love it!

Discussion Questions: (These are questions you can discuss during or after reading!)

-Are Harold’s drawings real? Why or why not?

-Is Harold playing make believe? What’s the difference between real and make believe?

-Why do you think Harold chooses a purple crayon? What color would you choose? Why?
