Synopsis
In the yellow hues of the African plains, hunting was easy for the leopard, whose light coat served as camouflage. When all the animals moved away, the hungry leopard had to follow them to the striped, splotchy, spotted forest. But he didn't stand a chance of survival unless, of course, he acquired spots himself. Rich in language and subtle humor, this inspired adaptation of the Rudyard Kipling classic comes alive.

From School Library Journal
ea. vol: 32p. (Just So Stories Series). CIP. Bedrick, dist. by Harper. June 1986. PLB $8.95. Grade 2-4 In How the Leopard Got His Spots, Ebborn uses pen-and-ink drawings washed in various shades of rich yellows and browns to set the mood of the tale. The detailed illustrations are realistic, engaging, and complement the text. At times, however, they are unsuccessful in conveying motion. A major weakness in this volume is the use of language from the original text. This original wording may cause raised eyebrows when readers see words such as "nigger." Other versions, including the title illustrated by Leonard Weisgard (Walker, 1972) omit the term without losing the author's meaning. Taylor's illustrations add to Kipling's text in the Sing-Song of Old Man Kangaroo. The pencil drawings washed in bright watercolor realistically depict why the kangaroo now has long hind legs and big feet. This volume will be useful for reading aloud, for storytelling, for reluctant readers who may be intimidated by collections of the tales, or as an introduction to the genre.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
