The Story of Ferdinand

Once upon a time in Spain
there was a little bull
and his name was Ferdinand.

All the other little bulls
he lived with would run and jump
and butt their heads together,

but not Ferdinand.

He liked to sit just quietly
and smell the flowers ...

The Story of Ferdinand is one of the bestselling children's books of all time, and the bull who preferred sitting under the cork tree and smelling flowers to fighting has become a hero to generations of children.
