About This Book

Ferdinand is a young bull in Spain who would rather sit quietly under a cork tree and smell flowers than run and butt heads with the other bulls. When he accidentally sits on a bee and his wild reaction gets him selected for the bullfight, he simply sits in the ring and smells the flowers.
