In "Farmer Boris and the Hot Air Balloon," by top duo Ted van Lieshout and Philip Hopman, Farmer Boris embarks on his most spectacular journey yet. The beautiful illustrations from around the world are a colorful feast and, as always, a cheerful rhyming story, packed with humor and guaranteed to provide hours of reading and viewing pleasure. A very lonely egg lies in the yard. Farmer Boris takes it inside so it can hatch safely. And it hatches! But... it's not a chick, it's a penguin! It's far too hot here for a penguin chick; he needs to get home as quickly as possible. But how? There are no trains or buses to the South Pole. Luckily, Farmer Boris always has a solution, and they bring the chick home in the hot air balloon. But first, they're in for a treat along the way.
