Josefina, a brown china cow quietly sits upon the fireplace mantel in the small house of the woman who has loved and cared for her since Josefina arrived in a gift box, on Christmas long ago. Cat, a tiny ceramic Siamese feline, joins Josefina on the mantel one happy Christmas, some time later. Together, they observe the woman as she lovingly raises a family, watch the children grow up and move away, only to return at Christmas. Then one dark and snowy holiday season, no one comes. Not even the woman. What happens next will test not only the patience and endurance of the two friends, but their strength of heart and spirit.

The Story of Ferdinand
Author: Munro Leaf
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0451479025
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 41
Book Description
A true classic with a timeless message! All the other bulls run, jump, and butt their heads together in fights. Ferdinand, on the other hand, would rather sit and smell the flowers. So what will happen when Ferdinand is picked for the bullfights in Madrid? The Story of Ferdinand has inspired, enchanted, and provoked readers ever since it was first published in 1936 for its message of nonviolence and pacifism. In WWII times, Adolf Hitler ordered the book burned in Nazi Germany, while Joseph Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union, granted it privileged status as the only non-communist children's book allowed in Poland. The preeminent leader of Indian nationalism and civil rights, Mahatma Gandhi—whose nonviolent and pacifistic practices went on to inspire Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.—even called it his favorite book. The story was adapted by Walt Disney into a short animated film entitled Ferdinand the Bull in 1938. Ferdinand the Bull won the 1938 Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Cartoons).
