Ferdinand the Monster Discovers Dancing Halloween Pages

Coloring page story

Ferdinand was a monster, but he wasn’t a scary one. He had soft blue fur, three wobbly eyes, and feet that loved to dance. On Halloween, he heard music coming from a party.

He peeked through the window and saw all the children dancing. He wanted to dance, too, but he worried he would scare them. He tapped one big, fuzzy foot. Tap. Tap. Tappity-tap.

A little girl dressed as a ladybug saw him. She didn't scream. She smiled and waved. "Come dance with us!" she called. Ferdinand wobbled onto the dance floor and wiggled and jiggled. Soon, everyone was copying his silly monster dance.
