Tweleve enchanting and timeless works of Rudyard Kipling are gathered together in Just So Stories. These well-loved children's tales give inspired, witty answers to such questions as: How did the rhinoceros get his wrinkly skin? Why won't cats come when they're called? How did one curious elephant with a nose for trouble change the lives of all elephants everywhere?

A regular stand in for my son and I. Obviously some racist and colonialist tones, but even those make for important conversations.
That mesmerizing rhythmic bumpity-bump of words, a song (almost), the lure of the storyteller, one extraordinary ordinary thing next to another extraordinary ordinary thing, a line of events unexpected yet just right, silly and serious—that's Just So Stories.
