«Just So Stories» is Rudyard Kipling's collection of children's tales, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (176 pages, in English).
Twelve stories that imaginatively answer children's questions: why the camel has a hump, how the rhinoceros got his wrinkled skin, where the leopard's spots come from, or how writing began. Kipling conceived these tales for his own children, featuring animals and adventures as protagonists.
Originally published in 1902, this edition is a 1989 reprint within Penguin's Twentieth Century Classics series. The work received the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1967.
Recommended for readers aged 8-9 (years 3-4, Lexile level NC1060L), though also aimed at the general adult audience.
Joseph Rudyard Kipling was an English journalist, novelist, poet and short-story writer. He was born in British India, which inspired much of his work.
