How the Leopard Got His Spots
Rudyard Kipling, Lori Lohstoeter
Paperback
(Rabbit Ears Entertainment, Dec. 7, 2012)
In the yellow hues of the African plains, hunting was easy for the leopard, whose light coat served as camouflage. When all the animals moved away, the hungry leopard had to follow them to the striped, splotchy, spotted forest. But he didn’t stand a chance of survival unless, of course, he acquired spots himself. Rich in language and subtle humor, this inspired adaptation of the Rudyard Kipling classic comes alive with richly drawn illustrations by Lori Lohstoeter. Part of the award-winning Rabbit Ears Storybook Classics series. Ages 5 and up. DVD and CD versions of the same story are narrated by Danny Glover with original score by Ladysmith Black Mambazo featuring the gentle sounds of South African a cappella harmonies. Both available on Amazon.com (Disc on Demand and Audible.com)
