First published in 1936, Ferdinand is a young bull living in a pasture in Spain with his mother and many other young bulls. As they grew, the other young bulls liked to butt their heads to play battle, but Ferdinand, while large and strong, was peaceful and simply liked to sit and smell flowers.
One day as group of men come looking for the most ferocious bull to come and be their fighter, however they get wrong idea after watching the reaction of Ferdinand after he accidentally sits on a bee. They choose Ferdinand and name him "Ferdinand the Fierce", but become angry when the giant but peaceful bull refuses to fight.
A wonderful story with important topics such as animal rights and non-violence, and with lovey illustrations that will bring joy, this story is excellent for all young readers.
