How did an inquisitive little elephant change the lives of elephants everywhere? Kipling's imagined answers to such questions draw on the beast fables of India, and they are full of jokes, subtexts, and exotic references. This fully illustrated edition of this classic includes two extra stories and Kipling's own explanation of the title. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A classic, but beware some terms.I loved Just So Stories as a child, and the stories are - for the most part - still really wonderful. Be aware if you are buying this for someone, however, that some of the stories are less than flattering to minorities and one of the stories does use the word "nigger," so this is definitely a book for someone who is old enough to talk to about language and what's appropriate and so on. Rating: - Kipling's Just So StoriesThis was the 2nd book in my Grandson's Birthday Present. I am told that it is a big hit with my 3 other grand children as well. Rating: - Excellent bookI thought I had written a review on this previously, but I think it had a slightly different title (complete just so stories) so I'll write one for this particular title.

He loved the stories, particularly "how the rhinoceros got his skin," and I read it to him almost every night (we had been reading all ... Read More Rating:  - Just So Stories for Little ChildrenVery poor quality. There are symbols and characters in the text. Also, there are picture captions inside the text with no pictures. There are page numbers and the book title in the middle of the text. The first letter beginning each story is missing. No stars, sorry, even though I had to give them one because the computer won't let you do it otherwise. I did read these to the children, but wow, it was hard figuring out what to leave out and what to leave in because the pictures (that aren't ... Read More Rating: - Things Every Child Should KnowAs a child I read these wonderful stories, read them to my child and now he's reading them to his children. How can you get through life not knowing how the Elephant Got His Trunk or how the Camel Got His Hump. In these days of uncertainty, these questions beg to be answered. Even now, and I'm 60, I can quote passages from this book to unenlightened friends and have gotten some of them to read this to themselves and grand children. For so many years, Kipling was out of favor, it's nice that a ... Read More
