Pietje Puk by Henri Arnoldus

Why read the book?

This is where it all begins. We are welcomed into Keteldorp and introduced to its sunny postman, Pietje Puk, who carries his good cheer along every lane and to every door. He brings the post, and he brings a smile.

Around him gather the faces of the village, the mayor, the local policeman and Pietje's chatty parrot. It is a warm, simple start that sets the tone for all the small adventures to come.

Favourite quote

What I Loved

There is a real charm in meeting a hero who is happy with his lot. The everyday village world, the friendly faces and Carol Voges's bright illustrations make this a gentle, sunny opening that any young reader can settle into.

Key Takeaway

A cheerful heart turns an ordinary round into a small adventure.

Note

This book is only available in Dutch
