librarianryan 's review for:

Tambov the Tugboat by Mark F. King
3.0

This story is very cute, but also very adult. Refrains like “money isn’t everything” are common and much more an older crowd thought. The little tugboat is soon replaced by newer and bigger tugs. This sends him looking for a new place and new work. During a storm his small but mighty power is put to the test, and he comes out winning. The story is nice but a tad long, and the illustrations are just so-so. I think this tale would be better as a spoken word tale in the hands of a master storyteller.
