Harold and the Purple Crayon (Crockett Johnson) 3-5
Okay, if you have a name like Crockett, you're bound to be pretty creatiave, and this crayon character, Harold, certainly is.  Hang on the the edge of your purple seat and find out how Harold draws his way into and out of scrapes while adventuring form his own room--and trying to get back.

Purple: Seeing Purple All Around Us (Sarah L Scheuette) 2-4
Vivid close-up photography bathes the readers in a purple display of items--some obvious, some not-so-obvious--that bear the color.  Rhyming text and bite-sized factual blurbs carry this theme along nicely.  Enjoy the purpleness!
