Tilly the Tiny Tugboat
Ages 4-8English
A brave little boat learns that you do not need to be big to be mighty.
In a harbor full of enormous ships, there lived a very small tugboat named Tilly. Tilly was painted the color of a ripe tomato and had a round, friendly whistle that went TOOT.
The big ships did not pay much attention to Tilly. "You are too small to matter," they rumbled. But Tilly loved her job. Every morning she nudged the great ships toward the open sea, and every evening she guided them safely back to their warm, glowing docks.
