About the book
How did the whale get its throat, the camel its hump, and the leopard its spots? Rudyard Kipling made up these twelve stories for his own children, and told them the same way every time, 'just so'. They are funny, musical and meant to be read aloud, each with a little poem, and Kipling drew many of the pictures himself. First published in 1902.
