Ferdinando el toro

I remember having (and loving!) this book as a kid. Ferdinando el toro! Ferdinando was different than all other of his young bull friends. He had absolutely no interest in being picked out to go to the bullfighting arena and become a great star. Oh, no! He preffered to sit on the prarie and smell the flowers, watch the butteflies and enjoy the beauty. Until one day... poor Ferdinando sat on a bee... Well, you can watch the end of this wonderful story in the disney version on YouTUBE.

A delightful story by Munro Leaf
Wonderfully illustrated by Robert Lawson
