Reviews

The anthropomorphized boats have plenty of personality, and readers who study the expressions on the container ships will be rewarded...A brassy, assertive fellow-young readers in the middle of their own power struggles will relate. -Kirkus Reviews A feel-good story about a small individual overcoming obstacles. -School Library Journal Tough Tug sends positive messages about responsibility and helping others. Repeated phrases on each spread-Slide and Splash, Swirl and Twirl-get exaggerated font sizes and lend a fun rhythm to storytelling. -Mom Read It This delightful book is sure to capture the spirit of young children. Tough Tug has determination and energy, and I yearned to read this book aloud to a classroom of readers. As he adventures to new horizons, Tough Tug realizes just how difficult it is to be a tugboat, but he knows that his passion will get him to his goal. The bright illustrations feature determined, anthropomorphic ships. Readers will feel energized after reading this one. -Unleashing Readers Tough Tug would be a welcome book for young readers navigating new places or experiences and for those excited by boats and vehicles at home and in classrooms. -Celebrate Picture Books The facial expressions on the boats in Tough Tug are exquisite! So many good character words come to mind as I look at the many faces of Tough Tug! Wow! -Literary Fusions
