Harold and the Purple Crayon: Under the Sea
Liza Baker (2003), 32 pages
Illustrated by Kevin Murawski
Audience: 1st Grade - 2nd Grade
One night in bed, Harold is too hot, and he decides to draw himself a sea with his purple crayon. Harold's purple crayon creates a new world for him to explore. This imaginative story about Harold's adventure under the sea is a fun read. Large illustrations cover most of each page, and the bottom third of the page contains text (with about one to three sentences per page). Harold's adventure is a great choice for readers whose skill levels are increasing beyond simple sentences and, of course, anyone who loves to pretend! (Reading Level: 2.8)
