These two beautifully illustrated books adapt some of Rudyard Kipling's delightful "Just So" stories for young children.

How the Leopard Got His Spots tells how the once plain-yellow leopard got his spots, who helped him, and why leopards are spotted to this very day.

Just So Stories for Little Children is a collection of stories that describe how the elephant, rhinoceros, leopard, whale, camel, and kangaroo received the physical characteristics or behaviors they are known for.
