Just So Stories

by Rudyard Kipling

Ages 5–9 Reading age 8 Short chapters Set in outdoors and wild places funnyepic

How the camel got his hump, how the elephant got his trunk, and how the cat arranged to walk wherever it liked — told to be read aloud.

A story about animals, funny and epic in tone. We would put it with children of 5–9, and at a reading age of about 8 for reading alone.

Chosen by matching age, reading age, tone and subject — not by what is selling.

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
