Written by classic English author Rudyard Kipling, Just So Stories is considered not only a quintessential children’s book, but one of Kipling’s best works. Just So Stories is a collection of origin stories, fictional tales that explain why animals have certain characteristics and other themes akin to that. Kipling’s book features stories such as “How the Whale Got His Throat,” or why large whales eat small prey, and “How the Alphabet Was Made,” which details a young girl and her father inventing an alphabet. Beautifully written and packed-full of illustrations, Just So Stories is the perfect combination of education and fun to get kids to love reading.
