Publisher's Synopsis
Kipling's daughter, "Effie" loved bedtime stories, but they had to be told 'Just So'. The stories her father would tell her formed the basis for the tales contained in this book. This collection includes all 13 stories and is perfect for reading aloud. Featuring stories explaining how animals developed their distinct features (the camel its hump, the elephant's its trunk, etc) or how the first letter and alphabet was written, these stories have been loved by readers of all ages for over 100 years.
This edition features all of Kipling's original drawings and poems, while also including The Tabu Tale, not included in early editions and still often left out.
