A very fun and entertaining book. Since this book was originally written in the 1930s, it has the distinct style of old children's books. It is very unrealistic and silly, but still a very good read. I really enjoyed the ridiculous plot and funny situations that the Popper family and the penguins fi...

I didn't like this one as much as I did when I was a child. That was disappointing. It's still a fun story, though. Just a bit slower than I remember it being. But it still makes me wish I could have a basement full of penguins. :)

Ferdinand would be an awesome book to read in a kindergarten classroom. The bull only wants to be himself even if that means he's not like the other bulls. It teaches the life lesson that meekness can be a strength.
