Scuffy the Tugboat and His Adventures Down the River By Gertrude Crampton Illustrated by Timor Gergely. Hardcover Bublication (1974) With Plushie (2012) Originally published in 1946
A Classic Tale of Adventure and Home
Meet Scuffy, a charming little red tugboat with a big dream. Bored with sailing in the same old bathtub, he longs for adventure on "bigger things". His chance comes when a kind toy store owner and his son place him in a small brook, and Scuffy's grand journey begins.
A Journey Down the River
As he is carried along by the current, the brook widens into a stream, then a small river, and finally, a large, flowing river. Scuffy feels powerful and proud, navigating through the exciting new world. He passes by farms, villages, and big cities, but the mighty river keeps pulling him toward a destination he's never seen.
The Realization of Home
The vastness of the approaching ocean becomes overwhelming for the tiny tugboat. He realizes that a small boat in an endless sea is not a good thing at all. Just as he fears he'll be lost forever, the man and his boy spot him and bring him back to safety. Scuffy is overjoyed to return to the simple, comforting waters of his own bathtub, realizing that the greatest adventures are sometimes found right where you started.
This story teaches children a valuable lesson about the comforts of home and being content with what you have. This plush and book set brings a beloved classic to life, allowing kids to read the story and cuddle with their very own brave little tugboat.
