This is a Children's book. It is about Ned, a little yellow tugboat, who was the most impressive little tugboat in his day. But then he grew older, and his owner just kind of sits him aside, thinking that Ned could not possibly be as fast and strong as he used to be in his prime. That is, until one day, Ned's owner finds himself in danger, and the younger tugboats cannot save him. Will Ned try to save him after being set aside and forgotten about? And if he does try to save his owner, will he be able to? This is a great story for parents and grandparents alike to read to their children and grandchildren. It teaches them to value and honor their aging loved ones. This story also has a fun song in the middle and again at the end of the story, and it is sung to the tune of "I'm a Little Tea Pot."
