From Booklist
Gr. 4-6. Knowing his grandson is upset after a minor incident, Antonito, an understanding grandfather, tells a story from his own childhood during the Spanish Civil War. The story begins when the grandfather witnesses the birth of a bull on his father's farm in Andalucia. Young Antonito and the bull calf form a special bond, but Antonito is shocked to discover that the bull is destined to die in the ring. In a bid to save his pet, Antonito releases his father's bulls. Only hours after this impetuous act, however, Franco's planes bomb Antonito's farm. Antonito escapes the advancing troops by running to the hills, barely managing to survive until he is rescued by a band of nationalist guerrillas, led by his uncle. Antonito narrates the epic, detailed events in an understated voice, but the sense of regret and loss resonate from nearly every page. Small gray-toned drawings illustrate this simply told yet powerful account of war's tragic toll. Todd Morning

Grade 5-8-A grandfather tells his grandson about the horrors of war in this story set during the Spanish Civil War. As a youngster, Antonito lived on a small farm outside the village of Sauceda. His father raised strong black bulls for the bullring, or corrida. The boy bonded with a newborn calf after its mother died, and in order to save it, he led Paco into the surrounding hills. While they were away, Franco's soldiers bombed the village. Leaving Paco behind, Antonito returned home, discovering the farm in flames. He escaped back into the safety of the countryside, but couldn't find the calf. Weeks later, suffering from hunger and exhaustion, he was found by his Uncle Juan, a Republican soldier, and nursed back to health. While recuperating, he heard a tale of a large black bull that chased down Nationalist soldiers, and he hoped that it was Paco. Years later, after he dreamed that the creature rested next to him while he slept in the forest, he awakened to discover hoof marks of a massive bull in the still-warm grass. Morpurgo's action-filled novel packs an emotional punch. The author gradually reveals the historical information and narrates the tale with the careful detachment of someone relating a story so awful that he can hardly bear to tell it. Ideal for reluctant readers, this book focuses on the loss and grief that grows out of times of war.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
In diesem Buch erzählt ein Großvater seinem Enkel die Geschichte, als er selber ein kleiner Junge war. Nicht nur, dass er gerade lernen musste, was ein Torrero, die stolzesten Männer Spaniens, macht, es bricht auch noch der Spanische Bürgerkrieg aus, der ihm die Eltern nimmt. Somit liefert das Buch viele Informationen über das Leben in Andalusien, ohne jedoch langweilig zu sein. Es ist flüssig geschrieben und wird auch Kinder ab 9 Jahren begeistern!

I love, love love this author. His books are so exciting and can be a little sad to. Excellent for grade 3 and upwards. My son who is in fourth grade loves his books. I read them aloud and my Kindergardener is glued to them.We have about ten of his books through a friend's recommendation. Everyone should have them . Great read even for adults!
