Editorial Reviews

Review

The patience he displays is worthy, even mature, but what gives The Carrot Seed its backbone, and a bit of edge, is the boy’s old-soul doggedness, his insouciant assurance that something, in the end, will come of his efforts. — The Atlantic 65 Essential Children's Books, 2025

I have enjoyed reading this book to children and adults. It is so encouraging and uplifting. It is perfect for someone who is constantly put down or told he or she cannot accomplish their dreams or goals. It is a quick read and makes a great object lesson. There is a reason why this book has stood the test of time. I highly recommend reading it frequently. It only takes a few minutes!

I bought this as part of my 3 year old’s birthday gifts. I thought it might be to young or simple for him but we also have a baby so I gave it a shot. Turns out the 3 year old loved it so much and wanted it read to him over and over again.A timeless classic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple but meaningful story may delight your young one

P.Q.K. · January 7, 2014

My 18-month-old will not let me put this book down. Your little one may or may not feel the same way. The illustrations are crisp and whimsical. The story itself is very basic--this is not a wordy book! My wife likes to skip a page or two, but that misses part of the point of the story, which is about patience and diligence being rewarded. This book would probably be best for children ages 1-3.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet, basic book for little ones.

C.B. · August 30, 2024

As a perschool director, this book was read to many 2 and 3 year olds before planting seeds and reviewed during the process of growth.

Children have faith, in spite of the parents and siblings around them! A little boy had hope and faith that a carrot seed would grow! And…

A book about perseverance that even the littlest understand

A. · December 6, 2014

Our little girl (4 Y) loves this book and most of the time she chooses it for her bedtime story. It is very simple, and yet has a universal message about perseverance.

Nice easy read for very young with a nice moral to it without being sickly. Have used with 0-3 yr olds.

子どもたちも大喜びです

A.C. · August 18, 2025

決して他の人に惑わされない、自分を信じて、やり通すことの素晴らしさが、子どもたちに伝えられたと思います。小学生低学年でも十分に理解出来ると思いました。私自身は、この本の事を、アメリカの他国から来て定住している子どもたちがこの本で英語を学んでいることを本で読み、知りました。日本人の英語を話さない小学生でも、この本で英語を学べます。良い本です。
