Description
Kipling's own drawings, with their long, funny captions, illustrate his hilarious explanations of How the Camel Got His Hump, How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin, How the Armadillo Happened, and other animal How's. He began inventing these stories in his American wife's hometown of Brattleboro, Vermont, to amuse his eldest daughter--and they have served ever since as a source of laughter for children everywhere.

I love this book! I can't even count how many times I read it, when I was younger or more recently.
The stories are beautiful and Kipling really has a rich imagination. And I love his very matter-of-fact humour!
