The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf
Ferdinand is the world's most peaceful--and--beloved little bull. While all of the other bulls snort, leap, and butt their heads, Ferdinand is content to just sit and smell the flowers under his favorite cork tree.
Classic book, about bull which likes to smell flowers and not fight. First published in 1936 and was banned by Hitler, as it supported pacifist's tendencies.
