The Bonnacon Goes to Pamplona

By Bruce Shaffer

The Bonnacon Goes to Pamplona, the second book in the bonnacon collection, is a humorous adult children’s book complete with catchy illustrations. In the vein of Curious George adventures, the bonnacon has his own amazing adventures. While in Spain the bonnacon catches a faint paella aroma and, finding the traditional Spanish rice dish irresistible, he goes on a culinary quest for some. On his quest he meets Federico, a most talented bull, and Maribel, a most beautiful heifer. The bonnacon finds himself clopping along with them on suburban cobblestone streets, and before long on the cobblestone streets of Pamplona amidst the Running of the Bulls! It doesn’t go well and, having useless inward-curving horns, the bonnacon must defend himself the only way he knows . . .

DEDICATION

For those now venturing out into the world during these crazy times of the coronavirus. You’re entering banks with bandannas concealing your faces, dining-in wearing six-foot-diameter innertubes around your waists, or perhaps you’re dressing in inflatable hippo suits to safely hug Covid-19-positive loved ones. You deserve a little levity, which I hope my book can deliver.
