Gr 1-6-This collection includes Kipling's 12 original Just So Stories narrated by Geoffrey Palmer, whose deep and resonant voice is perfectly suited to the tales. It is satisfying to hear the stories as they were meant to be told-aloud. Kipling originally told the stories to his own children over a century ago. The language is reflective of Kipling's time and place, and children who may have trouble with the language and phrasing will benefit from hearing the stories read. Among the stories included here are "How the Whale Got His Throat," "The Butterfly That Stamped," and "The Elephant's Child." Many of them include a moral or lesson, such as "How the Camel Got His Hump," in which the camel learns a lesson about being lazy and procrastinating. The tales are nicely complemented by bits of classical music including pieces from Saint-Saen's "Carnival of the Animals." The accompanying booklet provides information about Kipling's life and some additional material about the stories. An excellent addition to classic audiobook collections in school and public libraries.-Maren Ostergard, Bellevue Regional Library, King County Library System, WA (c) Copyright 2010.

出版社周刊评论
The graceful prose and pungent humor of these 12 tall tales (which include such favorites as ``How the Camel Got His Hump'' and ``The Elephant's Child'') place them in the same league with such children's classics as Winnie the Pooh and Alice in Wonderland. Kipling's verbal dexterity remains audible over time--even the openings of his fantastic fictions hark to a golden age of storytelling. Frampton's elegant, elaborately detailed woodcuts are attractive embellishments to this hefty 122-page collection. Stylistically, however, they are perhaps more suited to the tastes of adults than children, as they are neither as colorful nor as playful as the stories. They do not reach out and hook the audience in the distinctive, visually arresting manner needed to keep pace with this eminent author's topsy-turvy logic. Ages 8-12. (Oct.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Kirkus评论
With a text "". . .faithful to the original first edition. . .with the exception of one change made in the interest of current sensibilities,"" this new British-originated edition is illustrated by an Anglo-Egyptian in a style inspired by eastern art, especially Persian miniatures--a tribute to Kipling's eastern beginnings and the settings of some of the stories. The attractive result should appeal to older children or as a read-aloud (and these stories should be read aloud). The text's narrow margins are balanced by the highly decorative, many-bordered art, extending to page's edge. Each of the dozen stories is illustrated with a single luminous painting, usually of the most important characters. An exception is the one for ""How the Alphabet Was Made,"" which illustrates the letters mentioned in the text with a number key system, more cumbersome than the usual incorporation of Taffy's letters within the text and visually jarring in comparison to the delicate forms and colors on other pages. A satisfactory edition for home and library. Copyright ©Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
《书目》(Booklist)书评
Gr. 3-5, younger for reading aloud. These stories never lose their quirky vitality, and seldom has an artist captured that elusive trait as successfully as Frampton. The colorful woodcut illustrations sometimes resemble African batiks in their hues and designs, but the animals that dominate most of the pictures spring from the artist's own sense of form, color, and humor. A full-page print introduces each of the 12 tales, while several smaller illustrations appear throughout each story. A fine new edition of this read-aloud classic.
