It was his favourite tree and he would sit in its shade all day and smell the flowers. He had a favorite spot out in the pasture under a cork tree.
He liked to sit just quietly and smell the flowers. All the other little bulls he lived with would run and jump and butt their heads together, but not Ferdinand. Once upon a time in Spain there was a little bull and his name was Ferdinand. The book was released nine months before the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, but was still seen by many supporters of Francisco Franco as a pacifist book. He sits in the middle of the bull ring failing to take heed of any of the provocations of the matador and others to fight.
The children’s book tells the story of a bull who would rather smell flowers than fight in bullfights. The Story of Ferdinand (1936) is the best known work written by American author Munro Leaf and illustrated by Robert Lawson. FFerdinand would rather smell flowers than fight in bullfights.
