Munro Leaf

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. And he does just that, until the day a bumblebee and some men from the Madrid bullfights give gentle Ferdinand a chance to be the most ferocious star of the corrida--and the most unexpected comic hero. This...

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.

Wee Gillis couldn't decide whether he wanted to be a Highlander and stalk stags, like his father, or a Lowlander like his mother, and raise long-haired cows.

Presents the four things people must be in order to live together pleasantly: honest, fair, strong, and wise.

Illustrates the frequently misused words in grammar such as can and may or the lazy ones like ain't and wanna.

All around you, you can find different kinds of Nit-Wits--ones who bounce on beds, climb all over the place, stand on car seats, touch hot stoves, or follow dumb dares, and many others.
