Any question of reality versus representation is the gentlest kind, utterly unobtrusive...Joyful imagination, plain and simple.
--Kirkus Reviews The magic comes from the accompanying artwork, which follows the eponymous boy and his adventures in drawing... Like a certain boy with a purple crayon, Andrew knows that drawing offers limitless possibilities, and readers will, too.
--Publishers Weekly In this humorous and heartfelt portrait of a young artist, Andrew models by example the ebb and flow of the creative process.
--Shelf-Awareness Each page in this cleverly-designed book is filled with a line, a loop, even a stair step that Andrew has doodled on the paper, and the beginnings of his drawings often lead to something that even the artist himself doesn't expect.
--Reading Today Online The text is spare, with only a few words per page, letting the products of the boy's imagination and readers' anticipation of them shine as the focus of the book. Never has white space seemed so inviting.
