"In this short, unembellished tale of conquering one’s fear,
Dotlich’s comfortable rhyme schemes are creative...(a) satisfying
ending... may facilitate general discussions with young elementary
readers about overcoming worries. 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!
Rebecca Kai Dotlich gives her young audience an exciting adventure
and a gentle lesson that scary things can be overcome with
determination and a lot of heart.” —Alice Schertle, author
of Little Blue Truck
