Rudyard Kipling 
Just So Stories 

JUST SO STORIES by Rudyard Kipling are a firm family favourite.
The delightful tales of whales and cats and kangaroos and crabs – everything from how the camel got in a humph (and got his hump!) to how the alphabet was invented. Enchanting and funny, these fantastical stories continue to delight each and every generation.
With an inspiring introduction by Jonathan Stroud, author of the »Bartimaeus» trilogy, and including fun-filled endnotes.
