"The Carrot Seed" By: Ruth Krauss

This was a cute book. It's clearly for younger kids because it has a very simple story line, but it was still enjoyable. A little boy plants a carrot seed, and everyone tells him it's not going to grow into a carrot. The little boy is patient and he continues to pull the weeds and water the seed. Despite what everyone says the carrot finally sprouts. The size of the carrot is what makes the book. The author took a predictable story, and added a silly twist.
I also liked the message this book sends. It tells its readers that if you put your mind to something and keep working at it, you can accomplish anything you want. I would recommend this book to kindergarten and 1st graders.
