The Story of Ferdinand (Faber Heritage B

Very good story. I have been looking for this book since i saw the movie, finally found it and my kid loves this story and listens to this every night.

This is a classic that delivers a powerful message that we all have to do that we believe in and not what we are expected to do.Ferdinand, a bull is expected to fight, stick his horns around and headbutt, just like other bulls. But he chooses to sit quietly under a cork tree and smell flowers. And he can do that because he has an understanding parent, who lets him be the way he is.Again, one may want to assume that Ferdinand does not fight because he is not strong. In fact, an accidental encounter with a bumble bee shows Ferdinand's prowess in comparison to his peers who are actively showing off their power. That's when Ferdinand is picked up to fight in the biggest bull fight in Madrid. Is he going to succumb to pressure? Is he going to show off his power or simply chose the path that he like, regardless of whether he finds fame?This classic truly shows young minds that they have to pick up a path that brings them peace and not something that makes them famous or powerful. We have been reading this book for almost a year to my son since he was 3 years old. I am sure one day he will understand the bigger meaning in this book.Go for it and add to to your child's library.

A touching story about a harmless bull. Simple language and wonderful illustrations. Ideal for gifting. My daughter loves the book soo much.

My 3 year old loves it. Daily bed time story.Best book for all ages.

A lesson in tolerance and letting people be themselves. And the illustrations are equally breathtaking. Every page is a work of art, worthy of adorning any wall. Highly recommend it for adults and kids alike.

I bought this for my 4yo, she loves it. A great buy.

A must buy! Kids can’t get enough of this story❤️

A classic. Lovely black and white illustration.Simple story but strong message. I don't know how much of the message my daughter understands (at 2 and a half years), but, i know, some day she will, since she makes us read this book to her every other day.

I loved this book as a child and was just so happy that I could pass it on to my grandson who loves books also. I’m proud to say that his father read this book as a child too!!

A historia é excelente pra quem tem um inglês intermediário vai conseguir entender porem a edição é bem simples.

Seit 70 Jahren mein Lieblings-Kinderbuch

"Ferdinand", scritto da Munro Leaf e illustrato da Robert Lawson, pubblicato nel 1936, potrebbe sembrare la storia banale di un toro ozioso che al posto di comportarsi come gli altri e prepararsi alla corrida preferisce contemplare i fiori e le bellezze della natura, ma nasconde un significato profondo.L'alternanza tra i colori delle pagine del libro non è casuale: il rosso richiama il sangue, mentre il bianco è il colore dell'innocenza. Attraverso le simpatiche avventure del toro Ferdinand si può desumere una critica velata alla crudeltà della corrida ("corsa dei tori") e al sangue innocente versato dagli animali che, al termine dello spettacolo, sono sacrificati dal "Matador" (il verbo "matar" sta per uccidere) per il mero divertimento degli spettatori.
