Synopsis
Have you ever wondered how the leopard got his spots? Or how the camel got his hump? Rudyard Kipling’s witty and beautifully written stories explain these secrets and many more and introduce such memorable characters as the Elephant’s Child, the Cat that Walked by Himself, and the Butterfly that Stamped.
The illustrations by Rudyard Kipling contain puzzles and clues that add an extra dimension to the stories.
