The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf

The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf

Now a major motion picture!

One of The Atlantic's 65 Essential Children's Books

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. This cherished hardcover is perfect for those who love Ferdinand, and those who have yet to meet him.

Munro Leaf wrote and illustrated a large number of children's books. His most famous work is The Story of Ferdinand, which was first published in 1936 and has remained a bestseller ever since. Robert Lawson, Ludwig Bemelmans, and Theodor Seuss Geisel (commonly known as Dr Seuss) are just a few of the great illustrators who have worked on his books. Leaf also wrote the amusing non-fiction series How to Behave and Why, Etiquette Can Be Fun, and How To Talk Politely, which was reprinted after a pause. At the age of 71, Leaf died in 1976.
