This classic tale tells the story of Ferdinand a little bull who would rather sit under a tree and smell the flowers than fight with the other bulls. When he grows older, he still enjoys sitting under a tree and smelling flowers. One day some men came to find the fiercest bull for the bull fights in Madrid, but at that exact time Ferdinand was stung by a bee under his tree. His reaction to the bee sting made the men think that he was the fiercest bull. When he gets to the bull fight though, he just sits and smells the flowers until they take him back home to his tree and his flowers. This book goes into some details about the bullfights in Madrid, like the participants in the actual fight. This would be a good story time book for preschoolers as there is not an incredible amount of text on each page. This would be a good book to read to younger children too, but only if they are capable of sitting through a longer book. The black and white images of Ferdinand sitting under his tree are appealing to look at.
