    About Little Toot

    Little Toot is a tugboat who does not want to tug. Instead, he wants to make figure eights in the harbor and bother all the other tugboats. But when he ends up all alone on the open water as a storm is rolling in, it’s up to him to save a stuck ocean liner. This classic story is sure to delight a whole new generation of readers!

    About Little Toot

    Celebrate Little Toot’s 80th anniversary!

    First published in 1939, this classic story of the energetic tugboat who didn’t let his size or doubters stop him is brought to new life in this restored edition. With the help and support of Hardie Gramatky’s estate, to mark the 100th anniversary of his birth, we have used archived first editions and Hardie’s original paintings to restore Little Toot to its full glory, bringing back a richness of color that has been lost in decades of reprintings. This new edition also features several of the artist’s full-color manuscript sketches, never before seen in print, and reintroduces the book’s exquisite original endpapers.
