Pietje Puk gaat skiën by Henri Arnoldus

Why read the book?

It is great fun to watch the cheerful postman tackle the slopes. Pietje wobbles, tumbles and laughs his way down the hills, and his good spirits never falter even in the cold.

The snowy setting gives the story a fresh and lively feel. Young readers will warm to Pietje as he learns a new sport with the same kindness and pluck he shows on his rounds.

Favourite quote

What I Loved

I loved the cheerful clumsiness of Pietje on skis. He takes every tumble in good humour and gets straight back up, and that sunny persistence makes his snowy adventure a joy to read on a cold day.

Key Takeaway

Falling over is part of the fun when you keep your good humour.
