"A classic story. My two year old "reads" it to her little sister by basically describing what she sees on each page. It's an imaginative and entertaining story for kids."

Great Classic
"This is one book I don't mind reading five times in a row. It's simple, but imaginative. My daughter also likes to "read" it to herself. Very cute, especially all the pie."

Great for little imaginations
""I would give this 13 stars, which means I like it a lot. I like that Harold got himself out of trouble by drawing things. I like it when he went to sleep. My mom likes that he "drew" up the covers." Age 4"
