«Dusty and Smudge Keep Cool» is the children's story by Annie M.G. Schmidt, published by Methuen Young Books in paperback (20 pages, in English).
In this children's story, Dusty and Smudge try to stay cool. The story begins with a craving for ice cream, but a visit to the hairdresser ends in a radical haircut; the initial laughter turns into discovering how cool it feels, and an original idea emerges to get the ice cream.

Suitable for young readers and those starting to read in English.
Anna Maria Geertruida "Annie" Schmidt was a Dutch writer. She is called the mother of the Dutch theatrical song, and the queen of Dutch children's literature, praised for her "delicious Dutch idiom," and considered one of the greatest Dutch writers. An ultimate honour was extended to her posthumously, in 2007, when a group of Dutch historians compiled the "Canon of the Netherlands" and included Schmidt, alongside national icons such as Vincent van Gogh and Anne Frank.
