. . . that suffers only in comparison to its predecessor, I Stink (about a garbage truck). Buy that one first, then try this one, which is rich in illustration and story line but not as engaging or complex in attitude as I Stink.

If you loved I STINK! (and who didn't?) you love the McMullans' raucous follow-up. This time it's a tug with attitude that leads the charge and shows that even if your tiny you can be MIGHTY!!!

Another hit-- I can't wait to see what the McMullans come up with next!

I have a Thomas the Tank Engine obsessed 2 1/2 year old, but Mighty the Tug Boat has his ardor when it comes time for bedtime stories. He cheerfully announces "read Mighty!" and thoroughly enjoys the story and the drawings. He traces Mighty's path to the Anchorage, helps me to read the "toot"s and the "vrooms" and the word "tug", and he even is starting to recognize the large-facetype of AARRRUUUGGGGAAAA! (which means "Thank you" in boat). I get to use a silly voice when reading this book, which is fun for me. The typeface and font size and color changes, to give you an idea of what is loud and what is soft, which I haven't seen very much of in children's books. I think it is probably helping with his pre-reading skills (even though I'm mainly focused on just having a fun time reading stories together). I highly recommend this book for the preschool set, especially the ones who like vehicles with facial expressions!

This is a fun book! Love the writing style.
My 3 yr old son enjoys it very much.

Our child loves it and so does most of his preschool class. He has it memorized. There's lots of room for creative reading aloud.

I checked this book out of the library over the summer and my son loved it so much that he continued to ask to read it even after we had to return it to the library so I decided to get it for him for Christmas. He was so excited when he saw it Christmas morning that rather than play with his toys he wanted to read "I'm Mighty" (as well as the other books from this series... "I'm Dirty" and "I Stink"). It's been over a month since Christmas and he still wants to read it at least once a day! It's a great book and the fact that it makes him want to read makes me love it all the more! I definitely recommend it!

I'm Mighty and I Stink are great books. I have two girls and even they loved them.

Nice product

This book isn't as good as it's predecessor, I Stink, but it's hard to live up to that!

I will note that people who dislike the attitude of the garbage truck in I Stink will prefer this book - the tugboat is proud but not boastful, and altogether sweet and charming. And there's no puppy poo!

We love Kate and Jim McMullan...great books and great pictures, I bought this book for my 4 year old grandson. He enjoyes "reading" them to me also. We had checked these books out at our Library so many times , I just decided to have them in our home library.

From age 1 to now (just over two years) my son has been obsessed with "I Stink!" from the McMullans (he even surprised us one day by reciting all of the alphabet "stinky" items from the book!). We bought "I'm Dirty"... same thing. "I'm Mighty" is no exception - we read it every night without fail (at least once). I now buy these books for gifts for toddler friends - they are easy to read, entertaining, and they just love them! Mommy and daddy love them too - thanks for another great book (we'll wait for more)!
