Illustrated by
Tibor Gergely.
Nostalgic adults will love this new, larger edition of the Little Golden Book classic about a toy tugboat who is "meant for bigger things" and takes a trip downriver to the sea. Gergely's delightfully retro, soft-hued illustrations show a departed world of riverside country life giving way to harbor industries; they and the timeless journey-and-return-home theme will fascinate modern children as well.
