About this audiobook
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.

my favorite childhood book. my father was given this book in 1938. He read it to me when I was a little girl (I just turned 45) I do not know where my book is today. I have all my other favorites from childhood, but my favorite. I wouldn't sell it, but when it's my time to go I would make sure to either donate or auction off (whatever brings in the most $$$) in hopes that at least one child (hopefully more) are given opportunities they would normally not see. This book represents the love and bond between my father and I. I wish every child had a close bond with their Papo! Love you Papo! Thank you for making me one tough little girl and now woman! I miss you every day!
