3.0 out of 5 stars dated but comforting, July 23, 2002

By	audrey (white mtns) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Harold's Circus (Purple Crayon Books) (Paperback)

First published in 1959, this Harold book describes Harold's adventures as he draws his way through a circus. The style is minimalist and the activities are dated, but the story is also simple and active -- and very interesting to toddlers and young children. In this very fast world, this book helps kids (and parents) slow down a bit.

No batteries required.

4.0 out of 5 stars Harold's Circus is for All Ages, August 13, 2005

By	T. S. Murrell (Woodbury, MN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Harold's Circus (Purple Crayon Books) (Paperback)

Harold's Circus is a great book for everyone. The story is very imaginative. The story flows just like Harold's drawings. This book has lots of great yet simple pictures. The vocabulary can be a bit more complicated than the simple layout and drawings might suggest.
