'Hear and attend and listen; for this befell and behappened and became and was'
Have you ever enquired why the elephant has such an enormously elongated nose? Are you confused by a cat's contrary nature? Have you ruminated on the wrinkles of a rhinocerous? Or speculated on a leopard's spots? Rudyard Kipling wondered about all these things too, and in this marvellous collection of stories he imagines how the animals became 'just so'.
BACKSTORY: Find out why Just So Stories is one of Philip Pullman’s favourite books and discover wacky facts about wild animals!
Turn to page 75 to see the Elephant's Child having his nose pulled by the Crocodile!
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY PHILIP PULLMAN
'They sing in my head even now... What a wonderful storyteller/poet he was' Michael Morpurgo, Guardian
Have you ever wondered how the leopard got his spots? Or how the camel got his hump? Rudyard Kipling's witty and beautifully written stories explain these secrets and many more and introduce such memorable characters as the Elephant's Child, the Cat that Walked by Himself and the Butterfly that Stamped.
