I am a big fan of Harold and The Purple Crayon books. They really spark my 4 year old's imagination. But if your child tends to be easily frightened this will not be your favorite. Harold runs into a large lion with very big teeth, and falls thinking he will be caught by the elephant but gets caught by the lion instead.

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.

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.

This is a great book easy for children to read and know what they are reading. i sujest you get all of the harolds books starting with this one and the going to harold and the pruple crayon.. these books take a kids imagination and make them become life like... the author of these books knows how to hold a childs mind to keep them to want to keep reading til they get to the end..

If you are a fan of Harold and the Purple Crayon.. a wonderful read to your child. Can't go wrong.

Whilst this is still a fun story and my son enjoyed it, I don't think it's as good as the original Harold and the Purple Crayon, but I suppose it's hard to out do a number 1, same as sequals are normally not as good at the first movie. none the less if you like Harold and the Purple Crayon you will probably like this one as well.
