Little Toot on the Mississippi

I found this out-of-print book at a garage sale and read it to my little boys this afternoon ~~ what a darling little book! I remember reading Little Toot when I was a kid ~~ and this book is a classic!On the hunt for the big Steamboats that used to own the Mississippi River, Little Toot begins on an adventure that turns out not the way he expected. And on the way, he finds all sorts of boats and animals ~~ and learned about the King of Rivers. This is a perfect book to read to your children on a rainy day ~~ it's a classic and one that I won't mind re-reading over and over again. I hope this will be one of the very first books that my children will learn to read!9-22-03
