Other editions of book How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin

The Rhinoceros was not always all wrinkly as he is today. In fact he was a rather smooth but bad mannered beast. His bad manners, in fact, are what got him into trouble. When you steal something that belongs to the Parsee-man, you could be in a heap of trouble. Sit back and listen as Phillip J. Mather masterfully tells the Rudyard Kipling tale of How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin.

A classic fable from Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories, read by Johnny Morris. Have you ever wondered how and why the animals came to be as they are? In these magical tales, drawn from stories he heard as a child in India as well as on folk traditions he later collected all over the world, Rudyard Kipling gives some wonderfully imaginative explanations. Originally told by Rudyard Kipling for his own children, these witty, fanciful tales have been loved by generations of children ever since.

This playful tale, in which a Parsee man seeks revenge on the nasty piggish rhino, is among the best known of Rudyard Kipling's Just So stories. Jack Nicholson narrates the story. It comes packaged with a second Just So story, also narrated by Jack Nicholson: How the Camel Got His Hump. Both audiobooks are accompanied by whimsical music performed by Bobby McFerrin. Ages five and up will enjoy listening to both stories, which are part of the award-winning Rabbit Ears series, Storybook Classics. Jack Nicholson's narration is pitch perfect and Bobby McFerrin's score is playful as only he can be!
