The greater the giant, the longer their reign, and the harder they fall, the better. The plight of the has-been remains one of popular culture's main sources of entertainment. Then there are the ambitious folks like Scuffy, who jump a few feet only to be beaten back to the earth by the gods. but most of the time we're left grasping at straws before our feet even leave the ground. Some of us shoot for the moon so that we may reach the stars. I love the pages in which Scuffy sails briefly alongside the shore of an ocean, past tugboats like him.ĭreams and aspirations. However, books in which I see travellers safely returning home, also reassure and raise my faith. This is sensitive until our vacationer is home. Different from Scuffy, our dearest Conan obviously had to stay with someone for the winter. Our precious cat took an unprecedented vacation too, who loves us and his birthplace very much.

He is content to be in his own home, that he loves, with the people he loves. He enjoys it very much but safely returns. This toddler's story is about a toy tugboat that has an usual chance to explore beyond his home, at a farther distance than ever before. They are images I derive pleasure from gazing at like portraits. However the story pages inside, even in a slightly cartoonish style, are exquisitely beautiful to the point where the scenery is soothing. The gorgeous cover is bright and expressively happy enough to delight in, just being on display at home, now that all the rest of our boxes of goodies are out for me to enjoy and rekindle with again. My copy is dated 1972, my birth year! Tobor Gergely and Gertrude Crampton published it in 1946. My cover and pages curve to form the smooth, flowing shape of the tugboat a ‘Golden Shape Book’ that stands out uniquely and attractively. It is the adorable tugboat, Scuffy, looking like he has eyes and eyebrows, that is familiar to me. I believe this is mine, further to being in pristine shape. My parents had it with mine and my brothers' youngest literature for thirty-five years.
