Gottmer Children's Books - Farmer Boris and the elephant

Boer Boris en de olifant' is the tenth volume in the hugely popular and award-winning picture book series by Ted van Lieshout and Philip Hopman. Previous volumes in the series were awarded a Vlag & Wimpel and named Picture Book of the Year. Farmer Boris and the elephant' is a beautiful story about friendship between humans and animals. One morning, sister Sam arrives with an animal that Farmer Boris has never seen on his farm: an elephant. Sam swears that she has already made friends with the good-natured lobster - so she wants to keep him. Farmer Boris disagrees and sends the elephant away. Surely an elephant doesn't belong on a farm? For readers ages 3 and up. Ted van Lieshout has an enormous and frequently awarded oeuvre to his name, but he has written very little for very young children. With 'Farmer Boris' he proves that he can do just that: he knows exactly how to name things that fascinate a toddler and how to incorporate humor even in a text for such young children. Illustrator Philip Hopman has also received many awards for his work, including the prestigious Max Velthuijs Prize for his entire oeuvre. Around Farmer Boris he has created a bright, cheerful, but above all warm world. Young children will want to look at the drawings in the popular picture book series again and again - and their parents will enjoy them too.
