Illustrated by
David Mottram.
Mighty Tug, a cheery, hard-working tugboat, pilots in New York City's "busy, busy harbor." Told in rhyme and with lots of sound words, the story describes how she heroically hauls and guides all kinds of vessels, including a fireboat on a rescue mission. Rendered in watercolor and gouache and composed digitally, the blocky illustrations offer plenty of action and details for boat enthusiasts.
