This is an excellent book for young children illustrated by Crockett Johnson who is responsible for the brilliant (although much more sophisticated) Harold and the Purple Crayon books.
It is a wonderfully simple story about a young boy who plants a carrot seed and looks after it despite his mother, father and older brother telling him that it will not grow.
I have two boys aged 4 & 1 and my family love reading it together. The older boy loves playing his part, while the younger boy loves being part of the reading experience.
Excellent

For some reason, I forgot about this book... Lots of water under the bridge, a few grey hairs and a daughter later, this book comes back to me in the form of an Amazon recommendation. Something about the cover says to me I remember reading this book in the school library some 30+ years ago. "OK, let's try it out on my 4 year old", I think to myself... and a few days later I am reading a story with one of the most positive messages you can give a child to my own offspring. Upon finishing, I have a lump in my throat and my daughter a look of concentration in her eyes. I close the book, and I hear the magic words "Daddy, again..." - to which I gladly oblige. And I think, wouldn't it be nice if this message was given to all those stuck in a mid-life crises or in a routine they wish to flee. Believe it, nurture your dream, and show the world you can do it if you desire to do so - no matter what they say.
And, give the message to your children.
And, give the message to your children.

"The Carrot Seed" is a highly recommended book and if your kids don't read it in school, then ask the teacher why? With the same magic as "Harold and the Purple Crayon", this book is a great way to start kids thinking and using their imagination. You can also use it to start a science experiment and let them watch their own carrot seed grow. If you have an older child at home as well as a younger child, the kids can do this together and they will have something to share.

Carrot seed
A very simple book, with basic illustrations and only a few words per page -ideal for two to three year olds who like the repetitiveness and predictability of the story.

Utter rubbish

an inspirational read
a book that encourages children of all ages to follow their instincts and do what feels right. and it's short so it makes a great bedtime story.
