About this ebook

Do you wonder how the camel got his humps or the leopard her spots? Rudyard Kipling’s classic Just So Stories tells the thrilling and mystical tales of how some of the most famous animals came to be.

Similar to his story “How Fear Came to Be” from The Second Jungle Book, which explains how the tiger got his stripes, the tales in Just So Stories are original stories and, along with The Jungle Book, are counted among Kipling’s most popular works for children.
