Books with title Crab Who Played with the Sea

This is a story from the Just So Stories collection. Here is the complete and unabridged collection of Rudyard Kipling's delightful Just So Stories, which he first told to his own children before setting them down on paper: How the Camel Got His Hump, How the Leopard Got His Spots, How the Elephant Got His Trunk, The Butterfly that Stamped, and many others. Written in the late 1800s and first published in 1902, these enchanting animals remain unforgettable, over 100 years later. To hear these magic fables by a master of children's literature is to enjoy them.

This Story is really about the Beginning of the World and how "the Eldest Magician" asked everyone in it to "play together in harmony" It stars the LIttle Girl Daughter and her Dad from Malaysia, the Earth and the Moon (watch out for the Fisherman in the Moon and the Rat of the Moon!) and the naughty King Crab "Pau Amma" who grew too big for his shell!In 1980 Sheila Graber was commissioned to create a series of animated films for World TV based on Rudyard Kipling's "Just So Stories" These books are based on the hand painted art work created on plastic "cel"for that series.
