Just So Stories
Overview & Summary
This collection of whimsical, mock-explanatory tales offers fanciful, often funny origin stories for natural phenomena -- how the leopard got its spots, how the camel got its hump, how the elephant got its trunk -- narrated in Rudyard Kipling's distinctive, rhythmic storytelling voice originally developed for telling his own children bedtime stories.
