Crockett Johnson (1906-1975) was the writer and illustrator of over
twenty books for children, including the beloved classic Harold and
the Purple Crayon, six subsequent adventures starring Harold, and
The Carrot Seed, written by his wife, Ruth Krauss. He was also the
creator of the groundbreaking Barnaby, one of the most influential
and ingenious comic strips of the twentieth century.
"Perfectly attuned to young children. The book is presented in a small trim size--good for tiny hands--and the palette is dominated by mustard yellows, white, and blue. It's deceptively simple and sweet, but not saccharine." -- Kirkus Reviews
