Pluk van de Petteflet

Pluk van de Petteflet (Tow Truck Pluck) is a famous children's book by Dutch writer Annie M.G. Schmidt. It is one of the most popular Dutch books for children. Not just the story is great, the drawings are very famous as well. They were all done by Fiep Westendorp. She did a lot of book illustrations and in 1997 she was given a unique award The Golden Brush for her entire oeuvre. The book below shows a few Dutch illustrators giving their view on Pluk.

What a fantastic suggestion Google did the other day! In my Google dashboard I stumbled upon this wonderful blog All the buildings in New York by James Gulliver Hancock. He makes an attempt to draw all the buildings in New York.
