Farmer Boris

Farmer Boris has a farm. It comes with a large tractor, which he drives around his land in. See the tracks in the sand? Farmer Boris has a farm. It also has two barns. One houses the grain. 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's so much to see on the farm: plowing, fields decorated with scarecrows, and of course, lots of animals. Besides 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 a vast oeuvre to his name, which has received numerous awards, but he hasn't written much for very young children. With "Farmer Boris," Van Lieshout proves he's also adept at that. He knows exactly how to capture the things that captivate a toddler and masters the art of incorporating humor even into text for such young children. Philip Hopman has already received much praise for his illustrations. For "Farmer Boris," he has created a bright, cheerful, but above all, warm world. Young children will want to look at the illustrations in this book again and again—and their parents will enjoy it too.
