AlbakiReads Editorial

A bull with a different idea of what matters

Ferdinand’s defining preference is quiet: while the other bulls charge and spar, he would rather sit beneath his favorite cork tree and smell the flowers. That contrast gives the picture-book story its simple central theme—peacefulness in the face of expectations about how a bull should behave. Munro Leaf’s text is paired with pen-and-ink illustrations by Robert Lawson. This 32-page paperback edition presents the classic story in an 8-by-8-inch format.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 encountering a classic picture book
  • Families interested in stories about peacefulness and being true to one’s preferences

Book overview

Soon to be a major motion picture!

Ferdinand is the world's most peaceful--and--beloved little bull. While all of the other bulls snort, leap, and butt their heads, Ferdinand is content to just sit and smell the flowers under his favorite cork tree. Leaf's simple storytelling paired with Lawson's pen-and-ink drawings make The Story of Ferdinand a true classic. Commemorate the 75th anniversary of the book's original publication with this beautiful and affordable 8x8 paperback edition.
