Ferdinand, the 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.
