DESCRIPTION:May 9 - Nov 8\, 2026\nFerdinand the bull is at play in new past
 ures—or more precisely\, on the site of a former apple orchard at the Er
 ic Carle Museum of Picture Book Art. Jane Bayard Curley\, a graceful schol
 ar of Eloise and Madeline\, Chris van Allsburg and William Steig\, has cur
 ated a 90th-anniversary exhibition on the beloved classic The Story of Fer
 dinand\, published in 1936 by Viking Press and written by the aptly named 
 Munro Leaf\, with illustrations by Robert Lawson. Its happy-go-lucky hero 
 was considered so conflict-averse that in Spain the book was banned as pac
 ifist propaganda until after Franco’s death\, and so irresistible that t
 he animated short ordered up by Walt Disney himself won an Oscar. Among th
 e show’s treats are a grouchy Ernest Hemingway critique and a Louis Marx
  and Company windup toy.
