Farmer Boris has a farm.
That includes 1 large tractor.
He drives it across his land.
Do you see the tracks in the sand?
Farmer Boris has a farm.
That also includes 2 barns.
The grain is stored in one.
The other houses Knol, the horse.
What child wouldn't want to be Farmer Boris? He has his own farm and can happily drive around all day on his red tractor. And there is so much to see on the farm: ploughing, fields with scarecrows on them, and of course lots of animals. Because apart from Knol the horse, there are pigs, cows, a small calf, sheep, mice and chickens. And everything can be counted from 1 to 10. Uh sorry, 11!
Ted van Lieshout has an enormous oeuvre to his name, which has received many awards, but he has written very little for very young children. With 'Farmer Boris' Van Lieshout proves that he can do that very well too. He knows exactly how to name those things that fascinate a toddler and understands the art of incorporating humor even into a text for such young children.
Philip Hopman has already received much praise for his illustrations. For 'Boer Boris' he has created a bright, cheerful, but above all warm world. Young children will want to look at the drawings in this book again and again - and their parents will enjoy it too.
