A tiny tugboat overcomes her fears of a turbulent storm to save a stranded barge in this timeless tale of persistence. 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!" This triumphant tale is a testimony to the power of determination. ? "Little Scoot is a windy, wavy, rhymey story of someone little doing something big. Readers of all ages will want to straighten their stacks in her wake!"-Liz Garton Scanlon,author of the Caldecott Honor winnerAll the World"Lucky the child who gets to share an adventure with Little Scoot!

"-Dylan Teut,PhD candidate, literacy instruction and assessment,Plum Creek Children' s Literacy Festival Executive Director,Concordia University, Nebraska
