Pietje Puk wordt schaatskampioen by Henri Arnoldus

Why read the book?

There is something delightful about the cheerful postman gliding across a frozen Dutch landscape. Skating suits Pietje, and his sunny effort makes the contest a joy to follow.

The story carries a gentle lesson about practice and good sportsmanship, wrapped up in plenty of wintry fun. Young readers will be cheering Pietje on from the very first page.
