This book IS NOT MEANT to be a REPLACEMENT for Kipling's Original work - if you want that then please look elsewhere. It is primarily a beautifully illustrated picture book, with two full colour images on every page, for youngsters based on the Animated TV series adapted from Kipling's stories. It still stars the original Curious Elephant who is a typical youngster. Always curious about the world, always asking Who? Where? What? and When? Even though his questions bring him a bit of bother it all turns out for the better in the end. We hope this book will help keep that sense of wonder and fun alive ! The hand painted art work created for that series. originals can be seen on www.graber-miller.com

All the animals are in a panic. The elephant's sneeze would blow the monkeys out of the trees, the feathers off the birds, the stripes off the zebra. Even the fish and the fly, the crocodile and the kangaroo, know what a catastrophe that sneeze would be. "Please don't sneeze!" they beg. . . . The classic story of an enormous sneeze in the marking, told in sprightly nonsense verse, has been newly illustrated in full color to delight a new generation of fans.

The tale of how the elephant got its trunk is one of the most beloved of the Just So Stories Rudyard Kipling wrote for children. The insatiably curious elephant's child peppers every animal he meets with questions about the mysterious crocodile who lives on the banks of the Lompopo River. When he finally meets the crocodile, he nearly becomes dinner. This rollicking story and Jonas's Laustroer's vibrant art have the makings of a modern classic.
Rudyard Kipling's classic 'Just So' story, retold for young readers. According to this much-loved fable, elephants didn't always have long trunks - that is, until one day when the elephant's child could contain his curiosity no longer, stepping closer than he should have to the Crocodile.
