Publisher's Summary

A classic fable from Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories, read by Johnny Morris.

Have you ever wondered how and why the animals came to be as they are? In these magical tales, drawn from stories he heard as a child in India as well as on folk traditions he later collected all over the world, Rudyard Kipling gives some wonderfully imaginative explanations.

Originally told by Rudyard Kipling for his own children, these witty, fanciful tales have been loved by generations of children ever since.

Family favourite

Our 2 and 6 year old boys regularly request this and all of Rudyard Kipling's stories. We own the books and the ebooks make for a great travelling companion.
The narrator has a rich voice, with clear enunciation and a warmth and depth that perfectly showcases the stories and individual characters within.

Just as lovely as I remember from my childhood

These stories were read to me as a child- a very nostalgic trip down memory lane
