Overview"He told us how the elephant got its trunk and the leopard its spots, and his classic ""Jungle Book"" entranced young readers for years even before it inspired a much-loved Disney film. His exquisitely crafted, rhythmic poems practically beg to be read aloud; their musical cadences captivate children. Add to that his humour, sympathetic and finely drawn characters, often deep personal emotions - no wonder Kipling was hugely popular and became the first English writer to win the Noble Prize for Literature. 23 selections include: excerpts from the Just So stories; How the camel got its hump; If...; The cat who walked by himself; Mandalay; The Ballad of East & West" Full Product DetailsAuthor: Rudyard Kipling , Eileen Gillooly , Jim SharpePublisher: Sterling Juvenile Imprint: Sterling Juvenile Dimensions: Width: 21.50cm , Height: 1.10cm , Length: 25.30cm Weight: 0.481kg ISBN: 9780806944845ISBN 10: 0806944846 Pages: 48 Publication Date: 31 March 2000 Recommended Age: 11+ Audience: Children/juvenile , Children / Juvenile Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Out of Stock Indefinitely Availability: In Print Limited stock is available.
