LITTLE TOOT the tugboat doesn t want to work. He has too much fun gliding over the calm river and playing thread-the-needle around the docks. The other boats are tired of his antics, but when an ocean liner gets into trouble in the middle of a fierce storm, Little Toot has a chance to prove himself. Will he, of all tugs, be able to save the day?

Using archived forst editions and Hardie Gramatky s original paintings, this Restored Classic edition gives the much-loved tale of Little Toot its original richness of color, which had been lost through almost seven decades in print. It also features several of the artist s full-color manuscript sketches, never before seen in print, and reintroduces the book s exquisite original endpapers.

A fitting tribute to one of America s premiere watercolorists on the 100th anniversary of his birth.
