Publication date 1945 Topics Gardening Publisher New York. When a little boy plants a carrot seed, everyone tells him it won't grow. The book is very simple, but makes for a lovely interactive story, demonstrating the process of planting a seed, and speaking of individuality, standing one’s ground, and waiting patiently. The carrot seed by Krauss, Ruth Johnson, Crockett, 1906-1975. From beloved children's book creators Ruth Krauss and Crockett Johnson comes the perennial favorite The Carrot Seed, now in a board book that's perfect for little hands. Until one day, it came up, just like the boy knew it would! But the boy, in his simple childlike faith, is very patient, and he faithfully waters the seed and pulls the weeds every day.

It has very simple and short text (only 101 words altogether), and combined with simple, yet effective illustrations, it makes a brilliant read for young readers and explorers.Ī little boy sets out to plant a carrot seed, but his mom and dad (being grown-ups, and having experienced the other side of life), as well as his big brother (sibling rival!) keep telling him that the carrot seed likely will not come up. He introduced The Carrot Seed by American author Ruth Krauss (ISBN: 9780064432108), first published in 1945, a timeless classic, one that has never gone out of print.
