De Koe Die in Het Water Viel (The Cow That Fell in the Canal–Dutch)

Hendrika the cow longs to see more of the world beyond her farm. When she accidentally tumbles into a canal, she finds herself floating off on an unexpected adventure through the Dutch countryside and into the bustling city. Written by Phyllis Krasilovsky and filled with Peter Spier's wonderfully detailed illustrations of windmills, bridges, bicycles, farms, and everyday Dutch life. This 1964 Dutch-language edition is an especially charming vintage copy of the beloved picture-book classic.
