Description: The Carrot Seed Krauss, Ruth with illustrations by Crockett Johnson Harper & Brothers 1945. Illustrated boards hardcover AS-IS CONDITION to be clear with tear splits to lower spine head edge edge and cover scuffing foxing to covers and periodic smudges to interior else as-is intact rare early edition. "The book opens with the words: "A little boy planted a carrot seed. His mother said, 'I'm afraid it won't come up.'" A little boy plants a carrot seed to grow a giant carrot. Despite the skepticism of his parents and, particularly, his older brother, he persists and "pulled up the weeds around it every day and sprinkled the ground with water." The book concludes simply "And then, one day...! A CARROT CAME UP! Just as the little boy had known it would." The carrot (because it was a giant carrot) is so large that it fills a wheelbarrow. However the top is missing (possibly because the little boy broke the top off of the giant carrot when he pulled it out of the ground). The book is about not giving up no matter what anyone says, and believing in yourself."
