Scuffy the Tugboat (Little Golden Storybook) - by Gertrude Crampton:Scuffy the tugbaot is one of the few books that have the meaning of there's no place like home.
A Kid's Review - December 14, 2006
Scuffy the tugbaot is one of the few books that have the meaning of there's no place like home. Scuffy the tugboat is about a little boat who thinks he has bigger priorities than hes given. Scuffy doesn't want to just sail in a tub or the sink, Scuffy wants to go on the a big adventure. As Scuffy went on his adventure he realized that he didn't a big river all he wanted in his life was a young boy, a guy with a poke a dot tie, and his favorite bath tub.
Modern Art Notes: For the kind among you who emailed to ask why I hadn't written word one about Robert Smithson's Floating Island (the photo at left, of Scuffy the Tugboat pulling the Island, is by this guy) on MAN, here's why: I wrote about it for today's LA Times. I'm pretty sure I have a few nuggets that no one else has written. I love the Island. It's proof that conceptual art can be visually engaging, that it can amuse and delight, that objecthood is as important as a smart idea.
