"One night after thinking it over for some time Harold decided to go for a walk in the moonlight." So begins this gentle story that shows just how far your imagination can take you. Armed only with an oversized purple crayon young Harold draws himself a landscape full of beauty and excitement. But this is no hare-brained impulsive flight of fantasy. Cherubic round-headed Harold conducts his adventure with the utmost prudence letting his imagination run free but keeping his wits about him all the while. He takes the necessary purple-crayon precautions: drawing landmarks to ensure he won't get lost; sketching a boat when he finds himself in deep water; and creating a purple pie picnic when he feels the first pangs of hunger.
