Product Description

Product Description
Kipling began these stories in Vermont, to amuse his daughter when they were living in his wife's home town. The comic explanations, such as "how the camel got his hump" and "how the whale got his throat", are complemented by the author's illustrations, with their extensive and ridiculous captions.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book that begs to be read aloud, 10 Mar 2001
Kipling's classic volume of stories concerns the great questions of history; How the Whale got his Throat, How the Camel got his Hump, How the Alphabet was Made and many other thorny dilemmas. The language is sophisticated yet often whimsical and children love to hear the words read aloud. It is tempting to scan ahead and change things, substitute more contemporary phrases for the old but, if you can, resist the urge. Kipling was a master of the language. His writing is balanced and fluid and while it may seem dated when taken piece by piece, its sum is far greater than its parts. Read The Cat that Walked by Himself and you will never look at your own pet in quite the same way again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful classic., 10 April 2006
By M. P. OKeefe "martinphilipokeefe" (London, England.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Everyman's Library Children's Classics are a wonderful collection of traditionally bound books with beautiful illustrations. 'Just So Stories' is of course a classic. Definately worth making a set of these books up.
