Just so stories

by Rudyard Kipling

"Just So Stories" by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of origin stories published in 1902. These playful tales explain how animals acquired their distinctive features—why the whale has a tiny throat, how the camel got his hump, and how the leopard got his spots. Beginning as bedtime stories told to Kipling's daughter, who demanded they be repeated exactly "just so," these imaginative fables blend whimsy with philosophy, illustrated by Kipling himself, creating an enduring classic of children's literature.
