In 'Farmer Boris and the boat', Farmer Boris and the entire farm go out again. Ted van Lieshout's rhyming text is packed with humor and can be read aloud like no other. Philip Hopman made beautiful large prints 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 cannot move, even if Knol helps the horse. Much to the 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 go and she actually manages to get the boat onto the water and steer it - with a gentle hand instead of brute force. Ahoy, Captain Sam!
