About this book

In these delightful 'origin' fables, Kipling playfully explains how the leopard got his spots, how the camel got his hump, how the elephant got his trunk, and how the alphabet was made, in rhythmic, read-aloud prose brimming with invented words and irresistible humor. Written for his own children, the Just So Stories are perfect for reading aloud, their rolling cadences and gentle jokes enchanting listeners young and old. Whimsical, warm, and wonderfully inventive, they belong to the treasury of great children's literature. Timeless and endlessly re-readable, Just So Stories is a joyful classic of make-believe from one of the language's great storytellers.
