{"product_id":"the-story-of-ferdinand-2","title":"The Story of Ferdinand","description":"A true classic with a timeless message!\n\nOne of The Atlantic’s 65 Essential Children’s Books\n\nAll the other bulls run, jump, and butt their heads together in fights. Ferdinand, on the other hand, would rather sit and smell the flowers. So what will happen when Ferdinand is picked for the bullfights in Madrid?\n\nThe Story of Ferdinand has inspired, enchanted, and provoked readers ever since it was first published in 1936 for its message of nonviolence and pacifism. In WWII times, Adolf Hitler ordered the book burned in Nazi Germany, while Joseph Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union, granted it privileged status as the only non-communist children's book allowed in Poland.\n\nThe preeminent leader of Indian nationalism and civil rights, Mahatma Gandhi—whose nonviolent and pacifistic practices went on to inspire Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.—even called it his favorite book.\n\nThe story was adapted by Walt Disney into a short animated film entitled Ferdinand the Bull in 1938. Ferdinand the Bull won the 1938 Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Cartoons).\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0425291111\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0425291111.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Leaf, Munro|Lawson, Robert\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Board book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
