The Elephant's Child Rudyard Kipling

"In the High and Far-Off Times the Elephant had no trunk. He had only a blackish, bulgy nose, as big as a boot, that he could wriggle about from side to side; but he couldn't pick up things with it. But there was one Elephant-an Elephant's Child-who was full of 'satiable curtiosity, and that means he asked ever so many questions." A timeless tale pulled from Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories about how the elephant got his trunk. Follow along as an inquisitive elephant sets off to answer the forbidden question, "What does the crocodile eat?" He has no idea what he will endure to find out. This story highlights the values of curiosity and determination. Bond with your children through story time with tales you remember from your childhood.
