Gottmer Children's Books - Farmer Boris goes to grandma

Farmer Boris goes to Grandma' is the eighth 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. In "Farmer Boris goes to Grandma" Boris, his sister Sam and brother Berend have picked a whole bunch of apples, pears and plums. Nice, but what should they do with so much fruit? We take it," says Boris Farmer, "to Grandma in The Hague. She turns apples into pies and pears into juice, and plums into jam for biscuits and porridge. And so they set off, by train to The Hague. But once they arrive, Oma turns out not to be the sweet old lady the reader had expected! 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 'Boer Boris' he proves that he can do just that: he knows exactly how to name things that fascinate a toddler and knows how to include 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.
