The Elephant's Child and Other Just So Stories

By: Rudyard Kipling

Narrated by: Bob Gonzalez

Eight fanciful tales from Rudyard Kipling's book of animal origin tales, which began as bedtime stories told to his daughter Essie. They are called Just So Stories because Essie would not let Kipling deviate from the tale by even one word: They had to be told "just so".

How the Whale Got His Throat
How the Camel Got His Hump
How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin
How the Leopard Got his Spots
The Elephant's Child
The Sing-Song of Old Man Kangaroo
The Beginning of the Armadillos
The Cat That Walked By Himself

The author and the reader take you, the listener, to the African High Veldt, the Arabian Sea, the Australian Outback, the Atlantic Ocean, the Amazon River, and other locations across the world to weave his tales spun with delicious wordplay, comical characters, and intriguing plots.
