 | The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf, Robert Lawson
Ferdinand the bull, unlike all the other bulls in Spain, does not like to fight. He would rather sit underneath his favorite tree and sniff flowers.

When they see Ferdinand leaping and jumping they think he must be the fiercest bull around and so he is taken to the bullfighting stadium in Madrid. Will Ferdinand fight? Illustrated with b&w drawings. AUTHOR: Munro Leaf, Robert Lawson
