About The Preschool Book

A little boy plants a carrot seed even though his whole family tells him that it won't grow. The little boy plants the seed and takes care of it every day. He waters the seed and weeds the ground around it and keeps believing that the seed will grow. One day the little boys hard work is rewarded by a beautiful carrot that grew just like he knew it would.

From The Reviewer

This classic story of a little boy with a whole lot of hope will fascinate preschoolers. It is a very simple and short story, but it teaches a huge lesson to preschoolers about not giving up even when the people around you discourage you from trying. Preschoolers will learn that they can be successful if they work hard and believe that they can do something.

The simple illustrations are appealing to preschoolers and fit perfectly with the simpleness of the story itself. The whole book is done in carrot-like tones that pull the whole story together.

The Carrot Seed should be a part of every preschool library. The simple concept is easy for preschoolers to understand but teaches a very important lesson. Preschoolers will learn to have faith in themselves because they can do big things if they believe they can.
