Pluk and His Tow Truck

Pluk van de Petteflet

One lovely day, a small red tow truck drives into town with an 8-year old boy at the wheel. His name is Pluk and he is looking for somewhere to live. Dolly, the dove, helps him. Now Pluk lives in the turret room of the penthouse. Little by little he makes friend with the inhabitants of the house – with Mr. Feder, the little stompers and with Zaza, the extremely intelligent cockroach. The ideal playmate would be Agatha. But she isn‘t allowed to play outside, because she could get dirty. And that‘s an awful imagination for her mother, Mrs Cleanerer. When the Turtle Garden is threatened with demolition to make way for a new museum for extinct birds, Pluk must find a solution to rescue the lovely messy park and all the animals that live there.
