Praise

"Art runs from page to page with paintbrush or colored pencil, drawing as he goes, paying direct homage to Harold and the Purple Crayon. Harold now has a perfect companion in Art. Sheer delight." —Kirkus Reviews
"McDonnell takes a familiar topic—an imaginative boy who loves to draw—and injects this volume with an exuberant comic-strip sensibility." —Publishers Weekly
