Little Tug is not as fast as a speed boat. Not as tall as a sailboat. Not as big as an ocean liner. However, Little Tug does have an important job. And when all the other fast, tall, or big boats need help Little Tug is there! In turn, when Little Tug needs help getting to sleep and is tired, the other boats are more than happy to help Little Tug in turn.This cute picture book is full of boats. The colors various shades of blue with a touch of red, black, and white helps to punctuate the nautical theme as well as the night time conclusion. There is a short sentence on each page. This helps to keep toddlers and younger preschoolers interested without trying their attention span. And those youngsters who are always looking for more transportation favorites will be well pleased with this offering. Plus, Little Tug is one that might become as well-loved as another railway transportation character. Hopefully there will be more to come from Little Tug! This fall, Little Tug will join the ranks of beloved vehicular characters like Thomas the Tank Engine, the Little Engine That Could, and Otis the Tractor. Stephen Savage follows up Where's Walrus with a certain classic. Little Tug may not be the biggest, the fastest, or the tallest, but when other boats need assistance, Little Tug is there to help. Stephen's bold shapes and a limited palettes are reminiscent of art deco travel posters, each illustration worthy of hanging on a child's wall. Now, can Little Tug please have his own series?
