Whenever I See a Tugboat, I think of Scuffy,
By
This review is from: Scuffy the Tugboat (Hardcover)
Scuffy was one of my favroite books as a child. I loved to follow him through his adventures along the river. Of course in the end he always wanted to be home in his own little bath tub making me glad to be home with my family.

"If I had my way, I'd take a boat from the river...",
By cousinpaco (Cincinnati, OH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scuffy the Tugboat (Hardcover)
Animation studios are desperate to find proven material for their feature films--especially in the wake of disappointments like "Treasure Planet."That's why I'm surprised nobody has optioned the rights to one of the greatest children's books ever; it has emotion, thrills, an important lesson, and one of the cutest lead characters I've ever seen. That book is, of course, "Scuffy the Tugboat." Scuffy is a toy tugboat (hence the title) who dreams of something more than "sailing" in his little bathtub. When he is taken outside and accidentally swept away in a river, his harrowing adventure makes him realize that he should never have taken his old life for granted. Just imagine Scuffy the Tugboat brought to life by CGI, charging down rivers, dodging logs and old tires...and facing the bustle of a busy shipyard before being miraculously recovered by his owner. I can practically hear a popular actor like Ed Burns lending his distinctive voice to the little red tugboat, and Sting's nautical motif from "the Soul Cages" leads me to nominate him for the soundtrack. As long as it's a faithful adaptation of this classic tugboat tale, nobody would ever be able to say: "the book was better!"

This review is from: Scuffy the Tugboat (Hardcover)
It's been years since I've read this, so I really don't remember it much. I just remember Scuffy. But I do remember that this was always one of my favorites. I read other reviews of people growing up in the 1950s and reading this. Well, this has been a favorite since 1982. Scuffy is still going strong.
