The Carrot Seeds works as a picture book, as well as for those children who are prereaders, and in the process of reading. The story is wonderfully simple and easy to follow. Thankfully the child doesn't let adults deter him and continues through the steps of planting the seed, and patiently waiting for what he knows is inevitable. The reward for the child’s perseverance and attention to the seed is the biggest carrot anyone has ever seen! The Carrot Seed was published in 1945 but it still teaches the importance of patience, love for people, places and things and perseverance. As often happens adults around the child tell him that planting the seed will never work and nothing will grow. The Carrot Seed is about a little boy who plants a seed. As a parent and an early education professional The Carrot Seed not only makes reading fun for children but embraces a topic that I think is important for children to learn to love, gardening. The Carrot seed supports those learners that are linguistic but also those who are naturalistic. The Carrot seed by Ruth Krauss is a great example of one of those books. Children learn in many different ways, and books for children that embrace that idea are the best.
