Yeah, it's not by Crockett Johnson but I can't tell the difference and neither can my daughter. Harold is a great kid and what a wonderful imagination!

Much different than the 2002 HBO family version but still an enjoyable story. A little confusing for my son who only wants the story to be exactly like what he has memorized but not a bad thing. it forces his imagination and ability to "go with the flow".

I work in a preschool class room. I do a take home "Birthday Book Bag" activity with my students using this book. On their birthday they get to take the book bag home for the night. It is packed with activities for them to do based from the book. I feel the book helps them to think about someone other then their self. It also makes the students feel special plus gives them and their parents some quality time to spend together. They get to keep everything in the book bag but the bag, book and the "Birthday Surprise" box. I had been sharing the book with the other preschool class until I found it on Amazon. Sometimes it was hard to juggle when both classrooms needed the book. Now that both classrooms have their own book we don't have to worry about that.
