The Carrot Seed*

by Ruth Krauss (author) and Crockett Johnson (illustrator) 

One day a little boy planted a little carrot seed, watered it, and waited for it to come up. Everyone said it wouldn’t.

“But he still pulled up the weeds around it every day and sprinkled the ground with water.”

The little boy knew he just had to have some patience.

With illustrations from the creator of Harold and the Purple Crayon.

*Board book with some edge-wear else very good.
