The bold geometric design of the storm waves and determined tugboat will delight."" —School Library Journal ""To the burgeoning shelf of small-but-mighty-vehicle stories, add this one starring plucky tugboat Little Scoot. Page-turns are used effectively to add drama and suspense. Ikê’s digital illustrations capture the watery setting and the growing danger from the storm as well as Little Scoot’s changing emotions."" —The Horn Book “Little Scoot is a windy, wavy, rhymey story of someone little doing something big. Readers of all ages will want to straighten their stacks in her wake!” —Liz Garton Scanlon, author of the Caldecott Honor winner All the World “Lucky the child who gets to share an adventure with Little Scoot!
