Ruth Krauss, Preformed by Wally Amos
The Carrot Seed tells the story a young boy who plants a carrot seed and tends to it. The little boy listens quietly as his mom, dad, and big brother all tell him "it won't come up." The little boy continues to tend his carrot seed until a large carrot erupts from the ground and the little boy wheels it away.
