I purchased this book as a gift for a Christmas book exchange. I remembered reading or watching the story of Ferdinand as a kid. The price was right and shipping was free from the seller! Can't get better than that. Overall the story was what I remembered, a sweet little bull who loves peaceful days and "smelling the roses." The part I forgot about was the book describing in generalities some of the implements used to provoke bulls during bullfights. I would say that most of the story is great for kids, but you may want to share this with older children. Nice thin paperback book, can't be more than 20 pages. It was super popular with the adults (20-30yrs) at my Christmas party--I think we all were a bit nostalgic. :)

So enjoyed reading Ferdinand again, it’s the same Wonderful classic story that I remember reading to my boys many years ago! A happy story! In no way is it like the new movie that was just made ... with a very different story line.

Loved the book......Ferdinand is the sweetest and I hope the movie will do the book justice. This book is a classic; it was one of my favorite books as a child, my sons loved it when they were little and now my great nieces and nephews are being read the book.......timeless perfection!!!

It could be said that non-typical Ferdinand would likely encounter a typical fate (top sirloin & hamburger patties). Nonetheless he reminds us that stereotypes are stereotypes, & that there’s much more to life than stereotypes.

Loved this storybook many years ago & it was fun to read it to my children. So happy now to share it with my grandchildren. The movie was great too!
