In 'Farmer Boris and the Boat', Farmer Boris and the entire farm go out again. The rhyming text by Ted van Lieshout is full of humor and can be read aloud like no other. Philip Hopman made the beautiful large illustrations of the beloved farmer against a background of colorful Dutch buildings, green landscapes and wild waters. Farmer Boris, Berend and Sam (and all the animals, of course) go to the harbor for a day to watch the boats sail. There are many sailing, but one boat is on the shore. Farmer Boris also wants to push the boat onto the water, but it won't budge, not even when Knol the horse helps. To the great amusement of an old fisherman on a bench. He has tried everything, that boat really won't sail! But Sam in particular doesn't let that get her down and she actually manages - with a gentle hand instead of brute force - to get the boat onto the water and steer it. Ahoy, Captain Sam!
