Pietje Puk bouwt een zwembad by Henri Arnoldus

Why read the book?

Keteldorp could do with a swimming pool, and who better to build one than the cheerful postman Pietje Puk, who tackles the task with rolled up sleeves and a grin.

The familiar village world is all here, with burgemeester Bazeman and agent Langdraad looking on. Whatever splashes and slips come along, Pietje stays sunny, and the story makes a warm and simple adventure out of a big project.

Favourite quote

What I Loved

Watching the postman take on a building project is good fun, full of gentle mishaps and bright hope. The optimism carries every page, and Carol Voges brings the busy work and the splashing water to life with cheerful, detailed pictures.

Key Takeaway

With enough good cheer, even a big dream can be built.
