12. Maybe Harold and the Purple Crayon?

My son adored this and years later grabbed the copy I found at a thrift store.

He loved the color red, so we re-did the story with red.

Once you get the pattern down - drawing a colored line where ever you want to go - you and the child/children can expand the story, devising ever more places to go with the crayon.

IIRC, the book is still in print. I believe I saw it in the children's section at B and Noble within the last few years.

BTW, he loved to draw a red line along as we went through the story. Ie, he did his own illustrations.
