Review Detail

Inspired by the cargo ship incident in 2021, this adorably illustrated book tells the story of a tugboat and the moon, and how they work together to help free a stuck cargo ship.

I love the illustrations, these are some of the cutest ships and diggers ever. The story demonstrates problem-solving through team work, and also includes a fair bit of science facts. Tugboat gets help from diggers and graders, and there’s a full informational spread at the back of the book explaining the Supermoon phenomenon and how it was instrumental in freeing a large ship when it got lodged in the Suez Canal.

Pick this up for a cute story with lots to learn along the way.
