About This Novel

There are 13 stories in "The So-So Story", which the author "made up" in his early years to answer various questions raised by his daughter (such as why the whale's throat is so small, why the elephant's trunk is so long, and why the camel has a hump, etc.). Most of the stories in the book begin with an affectionate "My dear child," and many of the stories are peppered with jokes that fathers and daughters have shared privately. Kipling made full use of his extraordinary imagination and childlike sense of humor to explain to children why the things we see are the way they are. This book also comes with many hand-drawn illustrations by Kipling.
