Synopsis

With music and sound effects, this audiobook is perfect for those who love Ferdinand and those who have yet to meet him.
 
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. And he does just that, until the day a bumblebee and some men from the Madrid bullfights give gentle Ferdinand a chance to be the most ferocious star of the corrida—and the most unexpected comic hero.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Calista

Love this peace loving Bull. Great story to introduce to my niece and nephew. I think the first time I knew of this story was seeing the Disney Cartoon and the peaceful bull. But, the story is amazing all on its own. Munro created something wonderful here to reach through the ages. It's getting close......more
