The Harold and the Purple Crayon books are a fun picture book series for little kids about a boy named Harold who creates things with his purple crayon. This week in Beyond Bat Mitzvah, we read the first story, Harold and the Purple Crayon, and discussed its connection to what we’ve been learning. Here I will offer a brief review of each of the stories.
