<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Now a major motion picture!</b> <p/>A true classic with a timeless message, <b>The Story of Ferdinand</b> 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.

This cherished hardcover is perfect for those who love Ferdinand, and those who have yet to meet him.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>In Spain lives a big and strong bull whose name is Ferdinand.
