Tow-Truck Pluck (Dutch: Pluk van de Petteflet) is a children's book by Dutch writer Annie M.G. Schmidt. First published in 1971, it remains in print and is one of the most popular Dutch books for children, and the second most popular book by Schmidt (after Jip and Janneke).[1] A radio drama based on the book was produced in 2002,[1] and a film adaptation in 2004; Tow Truck Pluck ranked No. 10 on the list of most popular Dutch movies between 1996 and 2005[2] and was awarded platinum status early in January 2005.[3] The cover of Pluk (all drawings are by Schmidt's regular illustrator, Fiep Westendorp) is used to illustrate the article about Schmidt on the website of the "Canon of the Netherlands,"[4] and Pluk got his own stamp in 1999.[5]
