Just so stories

by Rudyard Kipling

About this book

Playful tales explain how the leopard got its spots, the elephant acquired a trunk, and other familiar creatures came to look or behave as they do. The collection also includes stories about the beginnings of writing and the alphabet.

The illustrated edition includes drawings by Kipling and color plates by Joseph M. Gleeson. Repeated phrases and rhythmic language make these stories suited to reading aloud.
