About The Book
For Mowgli movie fans, the must-have companion to The Jungle Book!
Children all around the world are fascinated by the animal kingdom, and that’s what makes the Just So Stories a perennial classic… Elephants, kangaroos, cats, leopards, and more. This complete volume of Rudyard Kipling’s masterpiece includes all 12 original stories:
Kipling first entertained his own children with these delightful and humorous tales before deciding to write them down for publication. The parables are written in the form of what came to be known as “why” stories, each explaining how and why certain things came to be as they are.
In addition to these clever fables, this volume features thirteen full-color illustrations and more than thirty black-and-white illustrations by J. M. Gleeson and Paul Bransom, as well as several images created by Kipling himself. With their entertaining characters and well-executed narrative arcs, the Just So Stories are perfect for readers both young and old—to read separately and, more importantly, together.

–Los Angeles Times
“Graceful prose and pungent humor… In the same league with such children’s classics as Winnie the Pooh and Alice in Wonderland… Kipling’s fantastic fictions hark to a golden age of storytelling.”
–Publishers Weekly
“It has, like all good fairy-business, a sound core of philosophy.”
–Atlantic Monthly
“Intimately told… Extraordinary ingenuity and inventiveness.”
–Guardian
