[goodreads]

Title: Just So Stories Author: Rudyard Kipling Genre: Short-stories Rating: 7/10 # pages: 42 installments on DailyLit Date read: July, 2008

Summary: One of the world's greatest storytellers weaves together an unforgettable collection of animal tales, including how the camel got its hump, how the leopard got its spots, and how even a butterfly stamping his leg can change a man's life.

Review: A selection of delightful stories about the beginning of things. I was quite amused by them. I'd read "The Elephant's Child" as a kid, but didn't know any of the others. I especially loved "How The Alphabet Was Made" which I think is the best of the lot.
