Harold and the Purple Crayon
by Crockett Johnson
Why we liked this book: A simple book about a little boys imagination and love for drawing.
Activity: I have come to learn that my kids love to make up their own stories. So...we decided to write our own stories using a....you guess it...purple crayon! I folded a regular piece of paper in to fourths and then cut out the squares. I made enough squares for each kid to have 8 pages. Then they drew pictures with a purple crayon and made up a story of whatever they wanted. My daughters was about a princess playing soccer and my sons was about a ninja finding a treasure.
