My favorite book growing up, Ferdinand the bull
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Over sixty years ago, author Munro Leaf (1905-1976) decided to write a children’s story which would showcase the work of his good friend, Robert Lawson (1892-1957), then an unknown illustrator. Together they created a classic storybook with distinctive pen-and-ink drawings, The Story of Ferdinand (1936), about a mildmannered bull who would rather smell the flowers than fight. Beloved for its heartwarming messages of nonviolence and individuality, the story is still popular with children all over the world, and has been retold in more than sixty languages.
