Wonderful classic. Opened up an opportunity to talk with my 7 and 4 year olds about what we can do when we set our minds to something and apply ourselves. They were so happy for Little Toot at the end!

An absolute American classic, made into films by Disney and spreading the message that even the 'little guy' can achieve great things. Published in 1939, the tugboat Little Toot is a cheeky little boat who must rise to the occasion when he finds a fellow ship in distress. I did enjoy the illustrations in the text and noted the pencil/ink drawings on the left and the full page colour drawings on the right - this reminded me somewhat of John Burningham's work.

I love the art for this one. Message gets a bit mixed in places, but still good art.

I remember this as a Disney short cartoon, perhaps made when the author worked there. As a book it's ok but not great.

That was a really great captivating story that actually kept me in the suspense. The boats were all so cute!

Yesterday marked my reacquaintance with "Little Toot", a story I first read decades ago as a child. It's a wonderful, heartwarming story - complete with colorful illustrations - of a little tugboat long used to frolicking on the river among the other, bigger, oceangoing tugboats, who finds himself put to the test one night and discovers much more about himself than he had thought possible.
