When faced with a tough challenge, Little Scoot only tries harder。 Sent into a gathering storm to rescue a barge that's run aground, Little Scoot is tempted to turn around。 But though she's scared of the squall, she perseveres through thunder, lightning, blustery winds, and swamping waves, reminding herself "Little Scoot never quits!"

I received an electronic ARC from Boyds Mills Press through Edelweiss+。Remarkably similar to Little Golden Book's Little Toot。 Even the name is similar。 However, the message to show grit and believe in yourself holds true for another generation。 I received an electronic ARC from Boyds Mills Press through Edelweiss+。Remarkably similar to Little Golden Book's Little Toot。 Even the name is similar。 However, the message to show grit and believe in yourself holds true for another generation。 。。。more

A familiar but charming story about persistence in the face of tough challenge。

Thank you to Netgalley and Astra Publishing House for this ARC。 This was a cute little story about a tiny tugboat being brave。 I love how the book recognized she was scared but that you can feel scared and still be brave。 Adorable illustrations as well, and I love a good rhyming book。 I recommend and will definitely be purchasing for our library。

This is way too similar to Little Toot。 Is it out of copyright or something?
