Do you know what Harold did with a purple crayon?
It was not an ordinary crayon – it was a magic crayon. Because, he drew a town with that purple crayon but it was full of windows all over.
Harold is the only one character in this story.

This is a kiddish and ‘not so good and not so bad’ story.
I like the climax because it is so good. You need to read this book at least once.
