Description
Book SynopsisI am delighted to know that this classic piece of Americana, Little Toot, will be enjoyed by readers of all ages for years go come. --Eric Carle
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.
