Books with title How the Rhino Got Skin

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 playful tale is one of the best known of Rudyard Kipling’s Just So stories. A Parsee man seeks revenge on the nasty piggish rhino, leading to the baggy, wrinkly look and bad manners we know today. Tim Raglin's illustrations are playful and perfectly capture the tale's humor. Part of the Rabbit Ears Storybook Classics series. Ages 5 and up. DVD and CD versions using the same text and illustrations by Tim Raglin are narrated by Jack Nicholson with an original score by Bobby McFerrin. Winner of the Action for Children’s Television (ACT) Broadcast/Series Award. The DVD and CD versions are also available on Amazon.com (Disc on Demand and Amazon Instant Video and Audible.com).

Adults who fondly remember from their childhood reading the classic "Just So Stories" by Rudyard Kipling may also recall that they were not illustrated, and that the original language may not be easily accessible to young readers. This version of "How the Rhino Got His Skin" is a fully-illustrated picture book, with language updated for today's kids aged 3-6. Kids love the whimsical illustrations and humor; parents appreciate a book that discourages bullying. For more information, visit www.henryherz.com.
