Kipling's classic collection of origin stories
Have you ever inquired why the elephant has such an enormously elongated nose? Are you confused by a cat's contrariness? Have you ruminated on the wrinkles of a rhinocerous, or speculated how the leopard got its spots? Rudyard Kipling wondered about all these things too, and in this marvelous collection of stories he imagines how the animals became "just so." Extra materials in the back include a quiz, more information on Rudyard Kipling, interesting animal facts, and an interview with Phillip Pullman on why he loves Just So Stories.
