Publisher's Summary:
The Rhinoceros was not always all wrinkly as he is today. In fact he was a rather smooth but bad mannered beast. His bad manners, in fact, are what got him into trouble. When you steal something that belongs to the Parsee-man, you could be in a heap of trouble. Sit back and listen as Phillip J. Mather masterfully tells the Rudyard Kipling tale of How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin.

A wonderful classic
This is the bedtime book of my childhood. I love it, and I often refer to it. (Everybody knows a "Cat who Walks by Himself," right?) It ushered-in a lifelong love of Kipling and evocative and often amusing stories of animals and the Raj. This one was my favorite...a book of amusingly charming parables for the young and not-so-young. I also loved "The Jungle Book" and "The Second Jungle Book." Akela the wolf was my hero, and I was unendly jealous of Mowgli, the boy raised by wolves.
If you haven't read "Just So Stories," put it on your Kindle. Each story takes only a few minutes to read...I re-read them while I'm in a waiting room, using the Kindle App on my iPhone.
I was a little disappointed in this book
I was a little disappointed in this book. I bought it for a 3 year old and the illustrations are in black and white. OK for an older child but I had to look into other versions for one with color illustrations to stimulate the imagination of a 3 year old.
It is a bit annoying how the drawings were placed
It is a bit annoying how the drawings were placed, sometimes an obvious easy bump up or down a page would have left the story less broken up, but the version is decent - though remind me on my third time reading with kids to skip the crab story, no one likes it.
Great as a reading copy, not great for illustrations
This edition is a slim paperback with somewhat poor reproductions of Kipling's original art. I'd much prefer a larger, better-illustrated volume for my child.
Classic Kipling
I read this first when I was about 7 yrs old. It's held up well except for the overt colonialism, but Kipling didn't know any better...or DID he? I've bought the same book for my 7 yr old granddaughter.
