Tugboat Bill and the River Rescue

(3) PS Illustrated by Tad Carpenter. Tugboat Bill and barge Mabel are smaller and less impressive than other boats on the Hudson River--and they are teased mercilessly. When the two boat friends rescue a drowning kitten (that the big boats ignore), they are hailed as heroes. The boats are depicted with faces and personalities; the New York City landmarks add a landscape to the primary-color-dominated illustrations.
