비폭력의 평온함과 소박한 삶에 대한 만족을 그렸다. 벌에 쏘인 소 페르디난도를 보고 투우장으로 데려가지만 꽃 냄새를 좋아하는 소는 싸우기는 커녕 꽃냄새만 맡는다.

A true classic with a timeless message, The Story of Ferdinand has enchanted readers since it was first published in 1936. All the other bulls would run and jump and butt their heads together. But Ferdinand would rather sit and smell the flowers. So what will happen when our pacifist hero is picked for the bullfights in Madrid? This new edition contains the complete original text of the story and the original illustrations with watercolor tones added.

Ferdinand likes to sit quietly and smell the flowers, but one day he gets stung by a bee and his snorting and stomping convince everyone that he is the fiercest of bulls.
