(2) PS When Harold sets out to find a Christmas tree, his famous purple crayon leads him to the North Pole and back before he draws just the right tree "between the fireplace and the big soft chair." This new board-book edition has fewer pages than the original 1957 picture book, with a handful of different page breaks (fitting more lines per page) and a few deletions of Harold's in-progress drawings.
