A true classic with a timeless message, The Story of Ferdinand has enchanted readers since it was first published in 1936. All the other bulls would run and jump and butt their heads together. But Ferdinand would rather sit and smell the flowers. So what will happen when our pacifist hero is picked for the bullfights in Madrid?
This new edition contains the complete original text of the story and the original illustrations with watercolor tones added.
Ferdinand likes to sit quietly and smell the flowers, but one day, he gets stung by a bee, and his snorting and stomping convince everyone that he is the fiercest of bulls.
