Notes From Your Bookseller

The timeless classic of a young boy and the bulls he refuses to fight, The Story of Ferdinand is still inspiring young readers. Now as a board book with added color and tones, it’s even more engaging than ever before.

"Read with lively narration and dramatic expression...brilliant, expressive and appealing." - Booklist

Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble Staff

Ferdinand, peaceful bull who loves to sit and smell flowers, is mistakenly carted off to a bullfight in Madrid, where he is believed to be the fiercest bull around. Ferdinand trots into the ring, only to sit and smell the flowers in the ladies hair. No matter what the frustrated matador and his helpers do, they cannot get Ferdinand to fight. Lawson's memorable black-and-white pictures speak volumes in this childhood classic.

APRIL 2017 - AudioFile

With a gentle Spanish accent and leisurely pacing, narrator Brian Amador lends just the right ambiance to the classic tale of Ferdinand, the young bull who has absolutely no interest in bullfighting. Just as Ferdinand moves at an unhurried pace, so, too, does Amador. Phrases are drawn out, and long pauses are offered between moments in the story, which are perfect for reflecting or for poring over the illustrations, should the book be at hand. The names of the bullfighters—picadores, banderilleros, and matador—roll off Amador’s tongue. Angel Pineda narrates additional words from the book's artwork, and the production includes background sounds such as the lowing of animals and the humming of insects. Even when one already knows what happens when the bee stings, listening to this recording is a pleasure. A.R. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
