The Story of Ferdinand

For a children's book, the simple ink drawings were unique to me. I had heard the story before but wanted to see its original form. I understand that this published version is shorter than the original. It stilled conveyed a good story and fine drawings. A couple nitpicks - why “just” quietly and “she is a cow” - seemingly disparaging and sexist comments, yet the men cry etc., so I also see those as part of this satire. Quite enjoyable.
