Our family took a trivia quiz together today and the following question was on it:
“Under which tree did Ferdinand the bull like to sit?”
Not only couldn’t I remember the answer to the question related to this lovely children’s book, our sons didn’t remember the book! I DID read it to them when they were young, but it wasn’t a book we actually owned and they don’t remember it all. Frankly, they couldn’t quite imagine a book related to bull fights as being “lovely”…
I really liked the tale. Must tell MY mother about it – she loved reading me that book along with Mike Mulligan and the Steam Shovel. Sigh – another book our boys didn’t own and I don’t think they remember. As much as I try not to buy books and rejoice in the library, the books young children own seem to be the ones that find a firm hold in their memories.
There are lots of videos related to the book online – I found the narrator of this one to be amusing.
Enjoy!
My favorite children’s book in the world. I raised a Ferdinand.
Another thing we share, Francine!
