The just so stories (The cat that walked by himself, How the camel got his hump etc) - Rudyard Kipling
This audio-book tells the most famous stories (or you may call them fairy-tales) by Rudyard Kipling, which he wrote for his children and nephews. Every part of “The just so stories” answers the most difficult questions of the children who are all very curious: “How the whale got his throat”, “How the camel got his hump”, “How the leopard got his spots” and so on.
For example when you read about a silly, lazy camel, it sometimes reminds you some people in your life, who do not like to do any work. So this book has some educational sense, but mostly it shows how to make educational part of our life a fascinating game and an easy one. And every time Kipling’s imagination and his unusual view of those things surprise a lot all the adults who has read this really amazing and outstanding book.
An interesting fact about one story, “the cat that walked by himself” was that it was written from the real cat story. Kipling presented that cat to his wife for their honey-moon. And his little daughter gave father much advice concerning the book, because this cat was her beloved pet.
You will find here interesting author’s ideas of how the first letter was written or the alphabet was made.
