What's Tough Tug About

Publisher Summary

Tough Tug is a brand-new boat. He likes to swirl and twirl–and run and race. He wants everyone to see what he can do. But when he sails to Alaska for the first time, he finds out what being a tug really means…Short rhythmic phrases on each page alternate with narration in Tug’s voice, leading readers through his experiences from splashing into the water for the first time to a daring rescue.
