Farmer Boris and the little boat

Farmer Boris and the little boat - Ted van Lieshout & Philip Hopman

From the well-known series Boer Boris books.

In 'Farmer Boris and the little boat', Farmer Boris and the entire farm embark on another adventure. Ted van Lieshout's rhyming text is full of humor and is perfect for reading aloud. Philip Hopman created the beautiful large illustrations of the beloved farmer against a backdrop of colorful Dutch buildings, green landscapes, and wild waters.

Farmer Boris, Berend, and Sam (and all the animals, of course) go for a day trip to the harbor to watch the boats sail. Many boats are sailing, but one little boat is on the shore. Farmer Boris wants to push the boat into the water, but it won't budge, not even with the help of Knol the horse. Much to the amusement of an old fisherman on a bench. He's already tried everything, that boat really doesn't want to sail! But Sam, in particular, won't let that deter her, and she actually manages to get the boat into the water and steer it – with a gentle touch instead of brute force. Ahoy, Captain Sam!
