Summary

Rudyard Kipling's story of how the elephant got its trunk has always delighted children with its playful use of language and sense of high adventure. Never has there been a more satisfying rendering of Kipling's most beloved "Just So" story, which explains what the world was like "in the beginning of years when the world was new and all..." Ages five and up. Narrated by Jack Nicholson with musical accompaniment by Bobby McFerrin.

Magnificently beautiful

I used to listen to this on tape with my siblings when we were kids, back in the 80’s and we all loved it dearly. To have been able to find it on Audible for us to be able to relive the listening and share with our own families is so precious. Jack Nicholson and Bobby McFerrin deliver a magical listening experience, A must listen!
