Harold and the Purple Crayon... and More Harold Stories (Scholastic Video Collection)
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Imagination soars and adventure abounds when the young Harold picks up his purple crayon and begins to draw. Crockett Johnson's Harold walks along a straight path, thrashes in choppy seas, and climbs high mountains in these animated portrayals of Harold and the Purple Crayon, A Picture for Harold's Room, and Harold's Fairy Tale. Along the way, Harold encounters dragons, becomes a giant, shrinks to half the size of a daisy, and foils an invisible witch--all in the company of the trusty moon. DVD bonus stories (not written by Johnson) include "The Mysterious Tadpole," in which a young boy's Scottish uncle sends some truly incredible birthday gifts; "Drummer Hoff," a fun rhyming story about a drummer and a cannon; and "Smile for Auntie," an amusing look at just how silly some adults will act to make a baby smile. Optional read-along subtitles are provided for all selections. (Ages 2 to 6) --Tami Horiuchi

My 4 year old's favorite.......2004-01-14
Harold and the Purple Crayon.......2003-10-31
Harold, The Purple Crayon and Travelin Tyke.......2003-04-19
three Harold and three bonus cartoons.......2003-03-27
There are also three bonus animations, produced by the same company but not by Harold author Crockett Johnson. The longest is 9 minutes, The Mysterious Tadpole by Steven Kellogg, about a boy's unusual birthday gift from his Scottish uncle. Drummer Hoff, by Barbara and Ed Emberley, runs 4-1/2 minutes and is a poem about a military group firing off a cannon. Smile for Auntie, by Diane Paterson and running 5 minutes, is about an aunt trying desperately to make her baby nephew smile.
Each of the six cartoons can be run with English subtitles. This dvd is not fancy or loaded with extras, and the animation is primitive by adult standards, but small children will really enjoy these simple and amusing tales.
